How to cook deliciously - Cauliflower 'Couscous'

1. Stage

Process cauliflower florets in food processor: Place cauliflower florets into a food processor. Pulse several times until the cauliflower looks like a coarse meal, resembling traditional couscous.

2. Stage

Steam ground cauliflower in sauté pan: Cover the bottom of a large sauté pan with a thin layer of water. Add salt, zest, and an aromatic herb such as rosemary, if using. Bring to a simmer, stir. Add the ground cauliflower to the pot, spreading it out in an even layer. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to the lowest possible simmer setting. Cover the pan and cook/steam for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Remove cauliflower to a sheet pan to cool.

Brown nuts, cook celery, add green onions, raisins, apples: Heat olive oil in a medium sized non-stick sauté pan on medium heat. Add the chopped nuts and cook until the nuts begin to brown slightly. If using celery, add the celery and continue to cook until the celery is lightly softened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Then add the green onions, raisins or dried cranberries, and diced apple to the pan, and stir to warm through.
