Interesting recipe. The asparagus and aubergine/eggplant flavors go together surprisingly well.
Since I was making only a half recipe (only one eggplant at hand) and didn't want to mess with a spare egg white and half a yolk, I used store-bought mayo (Hellman's) and dressed it up a bit. with dijon, vinegar, and tarragon. It was quite sweet, but got better with extra sauce.
Definitely something I'd consider doing for a party or buffet table, making the mayo as instruct
ed.

This was a light dinner; would be good as a starter, as Ottolenghi suggests. DH thought the tastes of the tonnato sauce (the bottom layer) and the salsa conflicted; I thought they were fine together. He also said he'd like the salsa in/on an omelet or scrambled eggs.
Unfortunately my fresh parsley was way past its use-by date and there was none in the freezer, so I had to use the dried stuff.
Ottolenghi has you cut only two "steaks" from the center of each cauliflower, which could waste quite a bit of cauli if you're not prepared to use the rest, but the steaks hold together well because they both have a substantial portion of the central stem.
