Easy to make and absolutely delicious! Vegetarian, Gluten Free, Healthy Cauliflower "Couscous" is like having actual Couscous or Rice, but even better when it's cooked and spiced up to perfection!

Ingredients
17.5
oz/ 500g Cauliflower florets
washed and patted dry
1/2
a medium Red onion
sliced
1
clove
of Garlic chopped
1 1/2
tsp
Cumin
1/2
tbsp
Chilli flakes
1/2
cup
Raisins
1/4
cup
sliced or slivered almonds
1
tsp
salt
more to taste, if needed
2
Lemon wedges
Handful of Chopped Parsely
Instructions
Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until Cauliflowers resemble small grains (or traditional couscous).
Heat 1-2 tbsp of oil on a skillet on medium heat. When heated, add the raisins and almonds to toast them slightly.
Add the onions and garlic and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook the onions and garlic for about 30 seconds, till the pan is nice and hot.
Add the processed cauliflower, cumin, chilli and salt to the hot pan, and start sauteing the cauliflower with the spices.
Cook the cauliflower till it browns slightly for about 10 minutes.
Taste the cauliflower and add more salt if needed.
Sprinkle Parsley over the warm couscous.
Serve while warm, with a wedge of lemon to squeeze on top (optional - but I like the zesty freshness it adds!)
