Mediterranean Vegetable Cauliflower Couscous | Slimming World





Cauli couscous is a low-carb, low-calorie and gluten-free alternative to rice or couscous. It is made using only grated cauliflower and thankfully larger supermarkets have started to sell it ready made, making it easier than ever to prepare!



Tesco Cauli Cous Cous 

I have found 2 ways to cook the ready made cauli rice. If you are cooking it to serve there and then the the best way to cook is to stir fry.

If, like me, you are making up a batch for lunches, you can microwave in a heatproof bowl, covered with cling film, for three minutes on High. This can be done at the point of eating and mixed in with the veg

Serve with plenty of speed food!

If you are cooking this to serve immediately, then the the best way to cook the cous cous is to stir fry. If, like me, you are making up a batch for lunches, you can microwave the couscous in a heatproof bowl, covered with cling film, for three minutes on High. This can be done at the point of eating and mixed in with the ready cooked veg

Squeeze the rest of the juice over the finished dish
