This vibrant cauliflower couscous is a delicious plant-based alternative to traditional grains, offering a light yet deeply satisfying texture. Infused with a fragrant blend of turmeric, cumin and cinnamon, the dish brings a touch of Middle Eastern flair to your kitchen. The natural sweetness of the dried apricots and currants provides a lovely contrast to the savoury, earthy notes of the spiced cauliflower, making it a versatile side that pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables or grilled plant-based proteins.
As a nutritious vegan option, this recipe is naturally gluten-free and packed with vitamins. The addition of toasted almonds adds a necessary crunch, elevating the dish into something special enough for a weekend dinner while remaining simple enough for a quick weekday meal. Serve it warm as a nourishing main or enjoy it chilled as a refreshing salad for a healthy packed lunch.

How to make Cauliflower "Couscous" With Dried Fruit and Almonds
Back to contentsToast almonds in a large dry skillet over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until lightly browned, 8–10 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. Wipe out skillet.
Meanwhile, working in batches if needed, pulse cauliflower in a food processor fitted with blade, or grate using the largest holes of a box grater until rice-like in texture (you should have about 950ml ).
Whisk broth and honey together in a small bowl.
Heat oil in same skillet over medium-high. Add cumin, turmeric, paprika, and cinnamon and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Immediately add cauliflower and stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until cauliflower is softened, 3–5 minutes. Add broth mixture, currants, and apricots; stir to combine. Cover and continue to cook until just tender, 3–5 minutes more.
Transfer cauliflower mixture to a serving platter and stir in half of almonds. Top with remaining almonds before serving.
