Provided by Sophie Godwin - Cookery writer

Categories     Lunch, Supper

Time 22m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large cauliflower (about 650g/1lb 7oz trimmed weight)
1 tsp allspice
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp olive oil
25g flaked almonds , toasted
1 red onion , finely chopped
200g pack feta , crumbled
110g tub pomegranate seeds
juice 1 lemon
½ small pack parsley , finely chopped
½ small pack mint , finely chopped, plus a few leaves to garnish

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower and the hard inner core, then roughly chop up the florets (don't worry about how they look, they are going to be blitzed). Put the cauliflower in the large bowl of a food processor, blitz for 30 secs until it resembles couscous grains, then tip into a large bowl.
  • Mix the spices and olive oil into the cauliflower and season to taste. Spread the cauliflower 'couscous' out on a large baking tray in an even, thin layer. Roast for 12 mins, mixing halfway through so that it is evenly toasted, then set aside to cool slightly.
  • Once at room temperature, stir through the remaining ingredients and season to taste, then sprinkle over the mint leaves.

Time 20m

Yield 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 medium head of cauliflower (about 1 pound), coarsely chopped
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon (or more) kosher salt, divided
2 cups (packed) flat-leaf parsley leaves with tender stems
1 cup (packed) mint leaves
2 scallions, white and pale-green parts only, sliced
1 garlic clove, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/2 medium cucumber (about 8 1/2" long), cut into 1/4" pieces
6 ounces cherry tomatoes, quartered

Steps:

  • Grate cauliflower with the coarse grater disk on a food processor or the largest holes on a box grater until rice-like in texture. Transfer to a large, microwave-safe bowl and toss with 1 Tbsp. oil and 1/4 tsp. salt. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high 3 minutes. Carefully remove plastic wrap, spread cauliflower "rice" on a rimmed baking sheet, and let cool.
  • Wipe out food processor, if necessary, and fit with chopping blade. Pulse parsley, mint, scallions, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, 3/4 tsp. salt, and remaining 1/4 cup oil until herbs are coarsely chopped. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in red pepper flakes. Add cauliflower, cucumber, and tomatoes and gently toss to coat. Season with additional salt, if necessary.
  • Cauliflower "rice" can be made 3 days ahead. Chill in a resealable container.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower rice. Freshly riced cauliflower is best, but frozen cauliflower rice can also be used. If using frozen cauliflower rice, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overcook the cauliflower rice. Cauliflower rice should be cooked until it is tender, but still has a slight crunch. Overcooked cauliflower rice will be mushy.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion, but you can use any vegetables that you like. Some other good options include bell peppers, carrots, and zucchini.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with the dressing. The dressing for this tabbouleh is made with olive oil, lemon juice, and fresh herbs. You can also add other ingredients to the dressing, such as honey, Dijon mustard, or minced garlic.
  • Make it ahead of time. This tabbouleh can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes it a great option for a quick and easy lunch or dinner.

Conclusion:

Cauliflower rice tabbouleh is a healthy and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. Try experimenting with different vegetables and dressings to create your own unique version of this classic dish.
