Blackened Cauliflower with Japanese Toasted Sesame Sauce

This recipe was inspired by a recent trip to Tel Aviv where celebrity chef Eyal Shani’s burnt cauliflower was all the rage. But, unlike the Israeli version I tried, here I pair the vegetable with Japanese sesame sauce. There are many different versions of this creamy dressing in Japan and each household will probably have their own. Some like it sweeter while others a tad tangier; texture can also be adapted to suit different tastes – make it from toasted white sesame seeds
