• 1.5 lb cauliflower

Preparation

Step 1

Cut up cauliflower removing all leaves and stems. Place the florets in a food processor and chop on/off until cauliflower is in tiny pieces resembling couscous (about 4 cups).

Heat oil in a large skillet. Add onions and garlic and cook gently 3-4 minutes until tender. Add couscous and cook 2-3 minutes only.

Stir in olives, lemon, salt, pepper, cayenne, pine nuts and cilantro. Season to taste.
