Steps

1. 1

   In 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.

2. 2

   If 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.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, combine the broth and honey using a whisk until well blended.

• 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.
