Cauli couscous is a low-carb, low-calorie and gluten-free alternative to rice or couscous. It is made using only grated cauliflower and thankfully larger supermarkets have started to sell it ready made, making it easier than ever to prepare!

I have found 2 ways to cook the ready made cauli rice. If you are cooking it to serve there and then the the best way to cook is to stir fry. If, like me, you are making up a batch for lunches, you can microwave in a heatproof bowl, covered with cling film, for three minutes on High. This can be done at the point of eating and mixed in with the veg
You will need-
1 pot cauliflower couscous
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
