Pilaf is usually made with rice plus nuts, fruit, vegetables or even meat. In this version we use couscous instead of rice, so it’s nearly instant, and add a sweet accent of orange and currants.

Ingredients

Prep: 25 | Total Time: 25

• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 4 cups, about 1 medium head finely chopped cauliflower florets
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1/4 cup currants
• 2/3 cup whole-wheat couscous
• 1/2 cup sliced scallion greens

Instructions

1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add cauliflower and salt; cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add broth, orange zest, juice and currants; bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in couscous and scallions. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, until the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
