Ingredients

Dressing:

½ cup extra virgin Greek olive oil
½ tsp turmeric
½ tsp smoked paprika powder
1 Tbsp of balsamic vinegar or petimezi grape molasses
Seasalt and freshly ground pepper

Cauliflower couscous:

3 cups of cauliflower florets washed and dried completely
1 Tbsp extra virgin Greek olive oil
2 Tbsp finely chopped parsley
⅔ cup pomegranate seeds
2 Tbsp pine nuts
2 Tbsp currants

Instructions

Make your dressing by stirring together the olive oil with turmeric, paprika, balsamic vinegar and a pinch of salt.
Pulse cauliflower in a food processor until it’s the size of couscous. Careful not to overmix; you don’t want to puree the cauliflower – it should be like rice.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower “couscous” and a few good pinches of salt. Let it gently toast for a minute or so and stir. Toss again and add the pine nuts if using. Cook for about a minute and remove from heat.
Toss cauliflower with parsley and top with pomegranate seeds. Taste and adjust the seasonings and serve with the rest of the dressing on the side.
