I’m thrilled to share this principally one-pot meal, impressed by the flavors of coconut milk curries which are well-liked in Southeast Asian delicacies. I really like the bouncy texture of quick-cooking pearl couscous, which is made out of a mix of wheat flour and water. It pairs so effectively with our do-it-yourself spice mix, garlic, coconut milk, and lime. You wind up with a lsightly saucy and luxurious texture–the right touchdown spot for some caramelized roasted cauliflower.

I’ve you make up a spice mix earlier than you even start cooking. It’s a 10-spice mix with a few of our favourites like cumin, coriander, sumac, turmeric, garlic powder, cinnamon, and extra. Half goes on the cauliflower earlier than it roasts within the oven. I exploit the opposite half within the fragrant base for the couscous. You get a stunning golden color from the turmeric and only a actually strong taste general.

The couscous bubbles away on the range in vegetable inventory earlier than a giant, luscious pour of coconut milk finishes it off. A beneficiant squeeze of recent juice livens every part up. I do prefer to serve this dish with extra lime wedges on the facet.

Substitutions & Additions:

  • Orzo can sub in for pearl couscous right here with none modifications to the recipe. Delallo makes a superb gluten-free orzo for these which are allergic to gluten.
  • If you wish to up the veggies, I like to recommend including 2 cups of child spinach on the finish of the simmering time.
  • I like a drizzle of chili oil or some chili crisp on prime of mine as effectively.
