Time for some food. This cauliflower salad has no actual couscous in it, but you couldn't tell that by just looking at it. So it's actually a mock couscous, and a nice one for dieters who are still trying to get their carb intake down. But most of all, it's tasty, spicy & sweet and after I finished my plate in minutes I wanted to take off my shoes, dive into the bowl and finish every last crumble. True story. I paired the salad with some boiled okra's and pumpkin achar that I bought from a nice lady at the last 'underground boerenmarkt' (an underground food fest where home chefs sell their homemade cookies, syrups, chutney's etc.). I finished the jar with this plate so now I'll have to go hunting after the recipe. Anyone?
