Sicilian Cauliflower and Chickpea Stew with Sundried tomato Couscous
There’s nothing better than this hearty cauliflower and chickpea stew. Inspired and filled with delicious Sicilian flavours and served on a bed of sundried tomato couscous, you won’t be able to resist a second (or third) helping.
As mentioned, this stew consists of beautiful Sicilian ingredients that are warm and rich. And together they blend to produce a fragrant and tasty treat. Warmer flavours such as cinnamon and turmeric will find each other whilst the taste of parsley and coriander brings a freshness to the dish.
The health benefits of chickpeas and cauliflower
Chickpeas are definitely a favourite ingredient in our kitchen as they are so versatile. And the nutty taste and grainy texture pair well in so many dishes. And of course, chickpeas are a great source of vitamins, minerals, fibre and protein.
Another surprisingly versatile ingredient is cauliflower. Cauliflower blends extremely well with other flavours and also adds to that nutty and sweet taste, similar to chickpeas. Not only does cauliflower taste great in this stew, but it also provides health benefits! It provides antioxidants and phytonutrients that can protect against cancer. Cauliflower is also high in choline, which helps with sleep, muscle movement, learning, and memory.
