Cauliflower couscous is a trendy way of serving cauliflower. You can use it raw in a salad, boiled or roasted as I have done. Cauliflower has a mild and a little sweet flavor and pairs well with other ingredients. I like raw and roasted. Boiled gets a little mushy. The spicy chickpeas roast in the oven at the same time as the cauliflower. I had left som edamame beans, if you don`t use peas or another root vegetable. The same goes for the almond, you can use whatever other nut you like. The sky is the limit.
