  1. Finely grate the cauliflower florets with a very sharp grater. A microplane or another ground grater is best suited for this. Mix the grated cauliflower florets with the couscous, raisins and toasted almond flakes in a bowl.
  2. Bring the vegetable stock with the lime juice to a boil. Add the couscous mixture, stir once, put the lid on, remove from the heat and let it soak for a few minutes. Season to taste with Ras el Hanout and salt. And then mix in the apple cubes, the lime zest and the finely chopped herbs and serve with the yogurt.
