as promised, another recipe to make use of those preserved lemons! i whipped up this cauliflower couscous with chickpeas, preserved lemons and parsley- easy, healthy, delicious. i would prefer it as a side dish, although we ate it as a meal (with tobasco, because in our house it isn’t a meal if there’s not hot sauce involved). lou said it “tastes like fish” which is a little confusing because a fish has been no where near this dish. and though i love seafood, i don’t want non-seafood dishes to taste fishy! he later backtracked and said this dish would be “so good served with fish”. thatta husband, way to recover. anyway, i think it was the lemon and parsley that tricked his taste association button. or he’s fucking with me. it’s hard to say definitively. thoughts my friends? xx- sarah {more after the jump}
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups cauliflower couscous
1 cup cooked chickpeas
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
4 tablespoons finely chopped preserved lemons
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
sea salt
METHOD:
– prepare cauliflower couscous by rough chopping cauliflower and pulsing in a food processor until couscous like consistency is achieved
– in a large frying pan cook garlic in grapeseed oil over low/medium heat for two minutes
– add chickpeas and lemons, cook for an additional 2 minutes
– add cauliflower couscous to pan and sauté until cauliflower is lightly cooked (you want to retain some of the crunch, beware of overcooking and turning it to mush!)
– add parsley, mix and season with sea salt and pepper
– serve with a sprig of parsley
– enjoy!
Sounds tasty, I think it would probably be lovely with fish!…xv

this could be a great salad for my upcoming sidewalk sale.
I love that I've been seeing a lot of cauliflower recipes across the web lately. I think I may pick some up at the farmer's market this weekend and try this recipe!
Another great recipe Sarah!! I made my caulicous with leeks and Dino kale and have been eating it all week! It tastes even better the next day 🙂
I'm intrigued by the idea of cauliflower couscous. Cauliflower is my favorite vegetable, so I'm always looking for new ways to prepare it. Looks delicious!
My sister in law just gave me some preserved lemons she had made, saying they were “her new favorite thing to cook with”. I hadn’t used them before so I searched for recipes and came upon this one. Made it last night for dinner and it is delicious! I made two tiny additions at the end to bring the flavor profile up a notch (toasted pine nuts and a sprinkling of garam masala) but it was still yummy without those additions.
