The recipe comes from Los Angeles-based chef Ben Ford, and author of Taming the Feast. Ford rough-chops the cruciferous vegetable and then pulses the vegetable in a food processor until it resembles the texture of couscous, a tiny pearled pasta.
Mixed with spices, herbs, and jalapeños, the cauliflower couscous tastes hearty, fresh, and spicy all at once. Plus, this version contains 30 fewer carbs per cup serving when compared to the same amount of pasta couscous.

Don’t have a food processor? Just keep chopping the shaved cauliflower florets until they’re small enough to pass for the pasta. At the very least, you’ll sneak in an arms workout. The cauliflower couscous makes 4-6 Servings.
You can use it as a side for steamed broccoli and salmon or mix in some chicken and mediterranean vegetables and pack a lunch box for work. Either way, it forms a great base for low-carb meals!
