- While the cauliflower cooks, prepare the olives by adding all the ingredients to a small sauce pan and simmer for 20 minutes on very low heat.
- To assemble, grab a large serving dish and spread the tahini sauce to the base of the plate. Add as much as desired. Top with cauliflower, the olives and garnish with fresh mint, fresh chili oil (optional), smoked paprika and za'atar!

Notes
