Instructions
Pulse the cauliflower in batches in a blender into couscous.
Trim the carrots and zucchini and slice them.
Heat half of the olive oil in a pan and brown the carrot and zucchini slices on all sides. Season with salt and take them out of the pan.
Add the remaining olive oil to the pan, then add the cauliflower couscous.
Season with salt and turmeric and add a little water if needed.
When the cauliflower couscous is cooked, put it on a plate and top with the fried vegetables.
Put the ground lamb in the pan and fry it until crispy, stirring. Then spoon it over the couscous.
Make a quick dressing from lemon juice and chopped mint and drizzle it over the couscous.

Cauliflower is simply a versatile all-rounder and is used a lot in low carb cooking, whether as a creamy purée, as rice or, like here, as couscous. It’s always delicious.
Why is cauliflower so pale? It’s actually simple: as it grows, cauliflower is wrapped in its large leaves and has no contact with the sun. So it can’t form the green plant pigment chlorophyll and stays white.
But cauliflower doesn’t only come in white. In France or Italy you may find colorful cauliflower on your plate, and the cheeky-looking green Romanesco is related to cauliflower too.
