Steps

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower until it resembles couscous or rice. Set aside.
3. In a bowl, mix olive oil, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
4. Add the meat pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
