These Crock Pot Braised Short Ribs with Cauliflower Rice Pilaf are as delicious as they look, and thanks to your slow cooker (or Instant Pot) and a frozen bag of cauliflower rice, are easy to make, too.

This tasty dish is my friend Elizabeth’s recipe.

Liz is fun because even though she’s an adult, she still dresses up and trick-or-treats with my kids. She sings karaoke with my 10-year-old daughter and she talks about books and cartoons with my 12-year-old son.

Liz is getting married in a couple months, and moving away from us, which makes us sad, but we’re very excited for her next adventure, and can’t wait to see what kinds of recipes she shares with us when she’s using all of her new kitchen wedding gifts. If she didn’t already have one, I’d gift her a Crock-Pot Multicooker, because it can slow cook and pressure cook all in one!

About this recipe, Liz says she loved the lemon and the capers in the cauliflower rice and that the leftovers reheated nicely.
