Low Carb Israeli “Couscous” With Peas, Herbs & Feta
Low Carb Israeli “Couscous” With Peas, Herbs & Feta
Ingredients for 5 servings
Substitution
Note
- 1 tablespoon butter (OR olive oil)
- 1/2 cup chopped (white) onion
- 1 1/2 lb cauliflower pearls or crumbles (about 1 large head of cauliflower)
- 6 tablespoons low sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup feta crumble (OR goat cheese crumble)
- 1/4 cup chopped mint (or more/less to taste)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley (or more/less to taste)
- juice from 1/2 lemon (or more to taste)
- sea salt & pepper to taste
STEPS
Step 1
Set a nonstick skillet on medium heat. Add butter. Once it melts, toss in the onions and caramelize for 3 to 5 minutes, until the edges turn brown and translucent.
Step 2
Add cauliflower pearls to the skillet, along with a pinch of sea salt & pepper and the vegetable broth. Reduce the heat to low, then cover and cook for about 6 minutes so the cauliflower softens.
Step 3
Remove the lid and fold in frozen peas. Mix together for about 2 minutes, then remove the skillet from the heat.
Step 4
Fold in feta cheese, parsley and mint. Squeeze in lemon juice, then season to taste with sea salt & pepper.
Step 5
Enjoy this meal with your choice of protein, such as my quick Italian balsamic chicken recipe.

By experimenting in the kitchen and sharing my meals on Tumblr, I learned healthy eating is not boring! By making a few adjustments to my favorite foods, I could design a diet that could help me achieve my wellness goals while satisfying my desire for BANGIN food! 😅 Now I try to help people around the world realize that same level of freedom in eating regardless of budget.
