For the cauliflower tabbouleh

Chop the cauliflower stalks, leaves and florets into chunks. Add them to a food processor and blitz them until they resemble coarse bread crumbs. You may need to do this in batches. Alternatively, use a grater.
2
Microwave for 4-5 minutes to steam or alternatively bring a large pot of water to boil. Once boiling, add the cauliflower crumbs and simmer for 4-5 minutes until al dente (firm to the bite). Drain the cauliflower.
