Roughly chop the cauliflower or break into florets and add to a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower is finely chopped, resembling couscous. De-stem the kale and cut it into thin ribbons. Add the oil to the fry pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and kale, and cook, stirring, two minutes.
While the vegetables are roasting, cook the couscous. Add the vegetable broth to a sauce pot, place a lid on top, and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the couscous, turn off the heat, and cover the pot with the lid once again. Let the couscous sit, undisturbed, for ten minutes. Then, fluff with a fork.
