Have you ever tried cauliflower couscous ? If not, you are missing something, especially if you like carbs and are trying to minimize their intake : )

If you don’t like cauliflower, I defy you to taste it in this recipe and the texture is so nice ! Recipe is below and if you make it, double quantities of the cauliflower couscous so you can enjoy and accommodate for a few meals !

RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

• 800 grs cauliflower florets (only the florets)
• 1 finely diced yellow onion
• 2  tbsp  coconut oil 
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
• 2 tbsp lime juice and its zest (ideally organic)
• 2 to 3 tbsp grated fresh ginger (adjust to taste)
• 2 chopped garlic cloves
• 1 tsp turmeric
• 1 tbsp soy sauce (or coconut aminos for GF option)
• To top: 1,5 tbsp grated coconut + 1 kafir lime finely shredded and salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Pulse your cauliflower florets in your thermomix until you get a texture similar to couscous.
2. Steam it for 7 min, and drain thoroughly (I use a cheese cloth) when cooled down, to remove all water.
3. Heat at medium heat your pan, add the coconut oil, then the onions, and after 5 min your garlic, ginger and turmeric. Stir well all along for an extra min. 
4. Add the cauliflower, cook for 1/2 min, and finish with the soy sauce, lime and sesame oil, and stir again.
5. Transfer to a bowl and top with your grated coconut and kafir lime and serve

Note: you can add a few chili flakes when you add the ginger and turmeric, if you want it a little spicy

You can eat it warm of cold and add some pomegranate, roasted almond flakes, diced cucumber and feta (or marinated tofu if vegan) to have it as a salad.
