Bone Broth Rice & Beef Bowl

Every month, the Organised team moves in together for a week. And without fail we always end up cooking what we affectionately call the dog bowl.

It's the meal that doesn't look like much. Just three things: mince, bone broth rice, salt and yet between them they carry more of what your body is asking for than most meals people spend an hour making. The mince brings complete protein, iron and zinc in forms the body knows exactly what to do with. The bone broth, pressure cooked from scratch in an hour, carries collagen, minerals and the kind of deep gut nourishment that's hard to find anywhere else. Cooked into the rice, every grain absorbs it and nothing goes to waste.

Today we have lamb grazed on salt marshes, coastal land where the tide comes and goes and the ground grows things you won't find anywhere else. Samphire, Sorrel, Sea lavender and Thrift. These plants pull iodine and minerals straight up through salt-soaked soil, and the lamb grazes on all of it. Those nutrients pass through into the meat itself, darker and richer than anything from ordinary pasture. By the time it reaches your bowl it's already carrying something of that place and a depth that no seasoning you'd buy in a shop could replicate.

This is what eating well actually looks like. Not a long shopping list or an hour at the stove. The dog bowl has never let us down.

Serves 2

Ingredients

• 120g rice
• 240g homemade bone broth
• 250g mince of choice
• 1 tsp ghee
• 1 tbsp Organised (optional)
• Seasonal herbs, salt and olive oil to finish

The quantities here are a guide, adjust the rice and mince to how hungry you are. The ratio that matters is the rice to broth: one part rice to two parts bone broth.

Method

1. Wash the rice until the water runs clear, then add to a pan with the bone broth. Put the lid on, bring to the boil, then turn down to the lowest heat and set a timer for 10 minutes, keeping the lid on throughout. Once the timer is up, turn off the heat entirely and leave to steam, lid still on, for another 10 minutes.

2. While the rice is in its final 10 minutes, cook your mince in the ghee until done to your liking. You can also add in your sprinkle of Organised here too!

3. Serve together with a sprinkle of salt, a drizzle of olive oil and whatever seasonal herbs you have to hand.
