Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 400 deg F (200 deg C).

2

Season the cornish hen pieces with cumin and a touch of salt.

3

Arrange them on a parchment-lined tray and roast for 25-30 minutes until the skin is golden and the juices run clear.

4

While the hen roasts, prepare the couscous by pouring 120ml of boiling water over the dry grains; cover and let steam for 5 minutes.

5

In a separate skillet, sauté the Spanish-style riced cauliflower mixture over medium-high heat until the aromatics soften and the moisture evaporates, about 6 minutes.

6

Fluff the couscous with a fork and fold in the riced cauliflower.

7

To plate, create a bed of the couscous and cauliflower mixture, nestle the roasted hen on top, and finish with a bright splash of champagne vinegar and a sprinkle of toasted sunflower seeds for crunch.

8

The dish should smell of warm cumin and roasted peppers.
