Pineapple Cherry Cauliflower Couscous
This is a recipe to cook with the kids and have fun with. Let the kids experiment with adding their own fruits and vegetables. The more kids are involved in the meal decisions and cooking, the chances are they will eat what is on their plate (most of the time).
Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower head
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 cups chopped and stemmed kale leaves
- 1 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
- 1 cup pitted and sliced cherries
Instructions
- Cut up head of cauliflower into pieces and put into a food processor or blender. I used the pulse mode on the blender for the best result. Any large pieces blend again in a second batch.
- In a large skillet pan, add 3 tablespoons of butter and melt over medium high heat.
- Add your cauliflower and cover the entire bottom of the pan. Let cook for 5 minutes.
- Add in your cranberries, cinnamon, pineapple, and pineapple juice, and stir then let sit for a few minutes.
- Add in kale and almonds. Stir and cover for 2-3 minutes to let the kale soften and brighten.
- Stir once more then tranfer to a bowl for serving.
- Top with sliced cherries.
Notes
Try this recipe with chopped and peeled apples or other fruits and veggies such as chopped zucchini.
Feel free to top with a balsamic dressing. One of my favorites is raspberry vinegarette.
