Grain-free Moroccan cauliflower couscous is gluten-free, healthy and vibrantly flavorful! Cauliflower stands in for couscous here with dried apricots, toasted almonds and Moroccan spices, tossed with fresh parsley, mint and a lemon honey drizzle.  Vegan-adaptable.

Moroccan Cauliflower Couscous

shallot, diced

cumin seeds

salt

red bell pepper, diced

apricots,

juice and zest of a lemon

apple cider vinegar

honey (or brown rice

cinnamon

ground coriander

– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

fresh mint, minced

parsley,

almonds, toasted (slivered, sliced or whole chopped)

Cut cauliflower roughly into one-inch chunks.  Put half into the processor and pulse until a snowy texture forms.  About 1 minute.  Repeat with the remaining cauliflower.

In a large pan put a tablespoon of olive oil, cumin seeds and shallots, sautéing 5 minutes or so over medium heat to toast the seeds and soften the shallots.

Add cauliflower and salt, stirring over medium-low heat for about 7 minutes.  Stir to fully heat all of the cauliflower.   You aren&#8217;t browning the cauliflower but just heating it thoroughly and allowing it to soften.

Add red bell pepper and dried apricots.  Remove from heat. Let cool for about 20 minutes.

Whisk together remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice and zest, apple cider vinegar (start with 2 tablespoons adding more if needed), honey, cinnamon, coriander and smoked paprika.  Pour over cauliflower along with parsley and mint.  Toss all together.  Top with toasted nuts.

This dish is yummy and easy. My husband thought it was rice, bless his soul. The spices came together well as did the fresh herbs. Because I didn’t have bell peppers subbed with very fine diced carrots which added a nice crunch. Used 1tsp roasted and bruised cumin. Great for lunch next day. Enjoying it now

Made this yesterday and it’s fast and delicious! Even my husband who is not a big fan of cauliflower enjoyed it. I added chickpeas for protein and it will be a perfect lunch for the next  few days. Thanks for another interesting and delicious recipe!

I really enjoyed this switch-up from grain! Instead of the recommended sauce, I opted to spritz fresh lemon juice on it once plated. It was tasty with a side of sauteed shrimp.

Excellent! Will be making this again. Thank you!

I like the base, but the smoked smoked paprika was far too overpowering. I would have also add less than two table spoons of apple cider vinegar if I made this again.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe! We celebrate a family member with a bbq and I made this as a side dish. My husband and My in laws absolutely loved it! My husband have now asked me to make more tomorrow

Absolutely devine tasty and healthy yet feels so decadent and naughty ! Its a winner for me light and fresh but very filling ! Perfect
