Cauliflower Couscous!

So after experimenting with cauliflower 'rice' I decided it actually tasted a lot more like couscous...which led me to this recipe!

This is the first inventive paleo recipe I have actually put into practise since getting back to uni..my house mates were quite disgusted at the thought of a blended cauliflower and told me to just stick some rice on but I must say they were all plesantly surprised...you never know, we could be the first fully paleo student household by the end of the year!

Ingredients
1 cauliflower
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
1 onion
1 courgette
1 fresh chili 
2 chicken breasts
Garlic - I prefer to use Gourmet Garden garlic, ready pressed, in a tube, saves time and smelly hands!
salt and pepper to season
Olives



1) Cut the courgette, peppers and half the onion up into roastable chunks! Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper and maybe some dried herbs too and pop in the oven for about 30 mins.
2) Dice the other half of the onion and the chili, removing the seeds first, and cut the chicken into chunks.
3) Fry the onion and garlic and chili in a pan for a few minutes in oil with salt and pepper to season.
4) Now add the chicken and more salt and pepper if needed.
5) Cut the cauliflower up into big chunks then place in a food processor and process until a powdery texture - a bit like couscous.
6) When the chicken is almost cooked through add the cauliflower and cook for about 3-5 mins until all heated through. At the last minute stir in the roasted veg.
7) Serve with some olives on top!
