I’m attempting (and mostly failing) to avoid sweet things. Are
you tired yet of my rants regarding my preference for borderline foods (squash,
sweet potato, etc) to veer savory/spicy as opposed to sweet? But then what am I
beyond always breaking my own rules?
I came across this recipe on simply recipes and couldn’t
resist. It fits my loves of tricky food (like those beet burgers), sneaking in
extra vegetables, and excuses to buy walnuts. It’s also, amazingly, something
savory I enjoy with citrus.
The dish looks like cous cous but is actually cauliflower,
processed a bit into little cous-cous-like granules. You steam that for a bit, and
as it cools, heat up the remaining ingredients (in this case I went with
version 2- with walnuts, cranberries, green onions and apple- though I
definitely want to try the other when I have celery or an equivalent).
While cooking I kept going for the novelty of it, but when I
tasted the final result? I actually really liked it! The combination of the nuts,
green onions (which I went a little heavy on) and cauliflower balances out the
cranberries (which I went light on) and apple. The best bites are when you can
get a little bit of everything.
