Traditional beef bourguignon served with steamed carrot and tenderstem. For a lower carbohydrate alternative, we’ve swapped regular rice for cauliflower rice. Cruciferous veg like cauliflower provides us with a great source of fibre and contains essential vitamins and minerals to support optimal health, including vitamin C, vitamin K, folate and choline.
