Toss olive oil mixture with cauliflower and onions by hand. Sprinkle salt and pepper on top. Bake for 30 minutes.

  3. Add in vegetable stock, bay leaf, tahini. Bring to a boil. 
  4. Carefully, add roasted cauliflower and onions to stock pot and return to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for 10-15 minutes. Stirring frequently. 
  5. While the cauliflower simmers, prepare the fried onion topping. In a small bowl, mix the onions and flour. In a suitable frying pan, heat the grapeseed oil on medium high heat. Once hot, fry the onions, shaking off excess flour. Fry until medium-dark brown. Remove from oil and pat dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
