Steps
- 1In a large dry skillet, toast the almonds over medium heat. Toss them occasionally until they turn a light brown color, which should take about 8 to 10 minutes. Once done, transfer the toasted almonds to a small bowl and then wipe out the skillet.
- 2If necessary, process the cauliflower in batches until it resembles rice-like grains by pulsing it in a food processor with a blade attachment or grating it using the largest holes of a box grater. Aim to produce approximately 4 cups of riced cauliflower.
Cultural note
Cauliflower couscous is a creative twist on traditional couscous, offering a lower-carb and grain-free alternative. The blend of spices like cumin, turmeric, paprika, and cinnamon reflects a fusion of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavors in this dish.
Seasonal note
Cauliflower is typically in season in the fall and winter months, making this dish perfect for colder weather. Dried fruits like currants and apricots are often available year-round.
Health note
This dish is a nutritious option, providing a good source of fiber and Vitamin C from the cauliflower. The almonds offer healthy fats, while the dried fruits add natural sweetness and additional fiber. However, the added honey contributes to the sugar content.
