3. Meanwhile, roughly chop remaining cauliflower. Place in a food processor and process until finely chopped to a consistency similar to couscous.

couscous and cook, stirring often for 5 minutes. Add cranberries and orange zest. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until cauliflower is tender, then remove from heat and season with pepper.
5. Toss ½ the coriander and ½ the roasted cauliflower through the ‘couscous’. Serve couscous topped with remaining cauliflower, orange segments, and garnish with remaining fresh coriander and pomegranate seeds.
