Prep time
Cook time

Pulsing a head of cauliflower in a food processor magically turns it into a crumbly, grainy, almost couscous-like mixture. Here we saute it with spicy chorizo sausage, mushrooms, tangy kale, and grated parmesan cheese. You won't believe how healthy this is!

Recipe type: Main
Serves: 2-4
Ingredients
½ head cauliflower, broken into florets
4 chorizo sausages, casings removed
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, diced
4 cups crimini mushrooms, sliced
5 cloves garlic, minced
Worcestershire sauce, to taste
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 cups kale, torn into pieces, stems removed
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more to serve
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped, to serve
Instructions
Place cauliflower florets in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until course and crumbly with a texture resembling couscous. You may have to do this in batches. Set aside.
In a large skillet, saute sausages. Use a wooden spoon to break up the meat, crumbling it as it cooks. Cook, stirring often, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove sausage from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet with the sausage juices still in it, add olive oil and saute onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Add in mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Add in garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook until mushrooms have turned a dark, golden brown colour, about 10 minutes.
Add in the cooked sausage and kale and stir until wilted.
Toss with the couscous and Parmesan cheese. Serve with fresh parsley and a sprinkling of more cheese, if desired.
