Ingredients

• 1 medium cauliflower head
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup couscous
• 1 ½ cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Cut the cauliflower head into florets and pulse them in a food processor until they resemble couscous grains.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion turns translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the cauliflower couscous to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. In a separate saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Once boiling, add the couscous and cover. Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes.
5. Fluff the cooked couscous with a fork and transfer it to the skillet with the cauliflower. Mix well to combine.
6. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese. Continue cooking until the cheese melts and coats the cauliflower couscous evenly.
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add more if desired.
8. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the cheesy cauliflower couscous before serving.
9. Serve hot as a main dish or as a side with grilled chicken or roasted vegetables.
