Fragrant North African spices mingle with cauliflower, vegetables and lemon to create this exotic and easy vegetarian meal. We served this dish and the residents' were delighted - I held back on the spices but not entirely! However, the couscous wasn't as well received; we had to opt for orzo but the residents' would have preferred r i c e! I can't fight "cultural appetites" any longer. :)
