Author Notes
This is a lovely workday dinner recipe. The couscous cooks itself and the cauliflower roasts while you get the kids ready for bed. All the component parts can be made separately in shifts and assembled just prior to eating. You can substitute any roastable vegetable, nut, and cheese for a variety of flavors. —MZG
