CAULIFLOWER COUSCOUS
Delicious, quick weeknight meal. "Tiny balls of Israeli couscous are the culinary pearls of the pasta world". The combination of sweet, savory and piquant flavors in this dish make a nice match. Adapted from a recipe I saw in the Food Network Cooking Magazine. The original recipe called for chopped dates. I substitued dried cranberries instead, since that is what I had on hand. I also added some dried corriander along with the cinnamon, just to give a hint more flavor. I also like to soak the dried cranberries in a bit of hot water to plump them up before cooking. Splash of wine vinegar at the end gives a nice touch!
