Serves 4 as a side
Prep & Cooking Time: 10-15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 head of cauliflower
- 2-3 apples
- 50g parsley
- 1 green garlic
From the cupboard:
- 50-70g walnuts or almonds
- olive oil
- salt
- 1 lemon or 1 orange
- balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
Method:
- Whizz up the nuts and cauliflower in a food processor until it looks like couscous. Keep the nuts separate from the cauliflower.
- In a frying pan toss the nuts with all the spices and finely chopped garlic (add 1-2 tablespoons olive oil).
- Mix the nuts and the cauliflower couscous together.
- Chop the apples in smaller cubes and add to the couscous mixture.
- Sprinkle with as much parsley as you like.
- Dress with lemon or orange zest and balsamic vinegar. Add olive oil if you like your couscous richer in taste
- Chop finely the parsley and add when you serve.
The couscous is a perfect side to grilled fish, chicken/turkey breasts, all sorts of veg stir fry, gratins etc. It can also be an ideal light lunch. Simply add more nuts and it will be more filling.
