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!

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
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Add in the cooked sausage and kale and stir until wilted.
  5. Toss with the couscous and Parmesan cheese. Serve with fresh parsley and a sprinkling of more cheese, if desired.
