Curried Cauliflower Couscous Salad recipe shared by Nikki.
I never liked cauliflower. It was always bland and boring to me. But then I stumbled upon this recipe online that claimed to turn it into a delicious couscous dish. I was skeptical, but curious. So I decided to give it a try.
The recipe was pretty simple. I just had to chop up the cauliflower and blitz it in a food processor until it looked like tiny grains. Then I cooked it in some vegetable stock with some spices to give it some flavor. I added some raisins, almonds, shallots, bell peppers, and cilantro for some extra crunch and color.
- 250g/8.75oz cauliflower, trimmed into chunks
- 30g/1oz raisins
- 25g/1oz roasted almonds
- 25g/1oz shallots, thinly sliced
- ½ tsp. cilantro, chopped
- 25g/1oz red bell pepper, diced
- 250ml/8.5floz vegetable stock
- ½ tsp. curry powder
- ¼ tsp. turmeric powder
- ¼ tsp. salt
- In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower until it resembles the texture of couscous.
- Combine stock, salt, curry powder, and turmeric powder in a lidded pot. Bring to a simmer.
- Add the processed cauliflower. Stir thoroughly.
- Cover and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until all liquid in the pot is absorbed.
- Fluff the cauliflower with a spatula.
- Fold in the raisins, almonds, shallots, bell peppers, and cilantro.

It tasted nothing like the cauliflower I knew. It was like a whole new dish. I loved it so much that I ate the whole pot by myself.
