Recipe's preparation
To prepare the cauliflower, first trim the stalks from the core and discard the core. Next, cut the very top of the florets off the stalks and set florets aside in a bowl. Place stalks into mixing bowl and chop 10 sec/speed 7. Scrape down sides of bowl with spatula and chop a further 10 sec/speed 7. Set aside in a large salad bowl.
Place half of the reserved cauliflower florets into mixing bowl and chop 2 sec/speed 5, or until slightly courser than the stalks. Set aside in the salad bowl.
Place remaining cauliflower florets and pistachios into mixing bowl and chop 2 sec/speed 5. Set aside in the salad bowl.
Place parsley and coriander into mixing bowl and chop 2 sec/speed 6. Set aside in the salad bowl.
Place all dressing ingredients into mixing bowl and mix 10 sec/speed 5 and pour over 'cous cous' in the salad bowl. Top with currants and pomegranate arils, then drizzle with pomegranate molasses, sprinkle with sumac, coriander and parsley and lightly toss before serving.

Love the combo. With the florets, I find better texture when they are broken up with Reverse. Less mushy.

Made this last night to have with some leftover BBQ lamb. I only used half a medium cauliflower and about 2/3 amount of dressing and there was masses - enough for dinner & lunch for the two of us, and we are big eaters. It was delicious but not very pretty. The herbs blended in the dressing made it a sludgy colour. We thought the flavour was nicer the next day, so next time I'll make it ahead but only stir through the herbs and pomegranate arials just before serving to preserve the fresh colours.
