- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 220°C, fan 200°C.
- Put the cauliflower slices and leaves onto a large baking tray and toss in the shawarma paste. Roast for 25 mins, turning half way, until charred at the edges.
- Meanwhile, put the red onion and red wine vinegar in a bowl with a pinch of salt; scrunch together with your hands to combine. Put the bowl to one side.
- Spoon the tahini and yogurt into a mixing bowl, along with the lemon juice and garlic. Mix until smooth, adding 2 tbsp warm water to loosen. Season to taste.
- Splash a little water over the flatbreads and wrap in tin foil. Warm in the hot oven for the final 5 mins of the cauliflower cooking time.
- Spread the tahini yogurt over each warmed flatbread and top with the roasted cauliflower. Add the pickled red onion, pomegranate seeds and mint leaves. Finish with a sprinkle of dukkah and a lemon wedge.
