Cauliflower Couscous

You may have heard that cauliflower may be used in place of rice. But it may also be used in lieu of couscous. One potential health benefit of cauliflower, a cruciferous vegetable, is a lower risk of developing some cancers. It is high in fiber, folate, and vitamins C, E, and K but low in carbohydrates.

In comparison to pasta, cauliflower has 4 grams of carbs every 3.5 ounces (100 grams). Cauliflower florets may be used in lieu of couscous by breaking them up and processing them in a food processor until they are grated into rice-sized pieces. For 1-2 minutes, sauté the cauliflower couscous with a little oil in a big pan. After that, put a lid and continue to cook for a further 5-8 minutes, or until tender. The final product can be used in recipes like couscous.
