Surprisingly Yummy Cauliflower Cous Cous

Ingredients

  • One Cauliflower, Roughly Chopped Up
  • Salt, Pepper, Paprika

Method

  1. Place the cauliflower into a chopper or food processer and give it a blitz until it’s into a rice or cous cous like grain texture
  2. Add in your seasonings
  3. I did mine the speedy way of about five minutes covered in the microwave (but you can easily slowly toast it up in a frying pan as well)

Eating And Storage Tips

If you’re wanting to put this so it’s coated in sauce I would recommend opting for the toasting in a pan option as it will help to give it a bit of a crisp or keep a bit more crunch. I went for the microwave option as it made it steamed and softer which was perfect for being on the side.

You absolutely can, and I would highly recommend, you putting things like lemon juice and herbs through it. If you are toasting it do it in some sesame oil and mix through some sesame seeds too. You can absolutely take it in another direction too with some turmeric, ginger and garlic. You can treat this pretty much as you would a cous cous given that grain also doesn’t initially come with a lot of flavour!

I didn’t personally put it into the fridge to store it but you could always season and prepare it up and put it into the fridge to heat it up or cook it with a few meals. Based on how cauliflower can brown or turn I would probably suggest doing this no more than a day or two ahead.

I wanted to have a hearty side but without heavier carbs such as rice so I decided to give cauliflower rice a try – Blend up one cauliflower – Add in seasoning – Microwave for five minutes before tasting and adding any additional seasoning – Microwave for another two minutes before serving #food #cooking #cookingvideo #cookwithme #cookingwithme #simplerecipe #quickrecipe #quickfood #comfortfood #cookingathome #fypfood #foodiesoftiktok #homecook #homecooking #simplefood #foodiesofinstagram #mealswithme #recipesoftiktok #recipe #dinner #dinnerideas #sidedishrecipe #cauliflower #chicken #dinnerwithme #simplerecipe #quickrecipes #easyrecipes
