After we cut grains out of diet, the one grain that I really quite missed was rice.  Unfortunately even this gluten-free grain doesn't sit well with me, so I was very excited when I came across cauliflower rice!

And what a great idea, it gives you the texture of rice, but at the same time you're easily getting another 1-2 servings of vegetables at the same time!

I had the pleasure this morning of doing some cooking outside of Sherwood Road Organic Meats, where I used some of their ‘chuck steak’ in this delicious simple and warming slow cooked beef recipe. Their meats have so much flavour on their own (definitely a reflection of how they raise and what they feed their animals!) so I’ve kept this recipe really simple - and just in time for the colder months that are approaching.

I combined it with some cauliflower ‘rice’, which is a really good grain-free alternative to rice (for those that might have sensitivities to rice), and it also allows you to sneak in a few more vegetables into the meal :-) This was definitely a talking point for people today - and you can also easily transform it to take on other flavours. With this particular recipe I simply used the same ingredients that I used with the beef to transfer that same flavour across into the ‘rice’.
