Just had to share this from yesterday's evening meal and didn't know where else to post it. It was soooooo delicious!!
PULLED CHILLI BRISKET - Serves 4-6
Syn Free
1kg beef brisket 1 tbsp. ground cumin
1 level tbsp. ground cinnamon 1 tbsp. smoked paprika
1 heaped tbsp. dried oregano 2 bay leaves (fresh, if poss)
2 red peppers, deseeded and chopped 2 yellow peppers, deseeded and chopped
2 x 400g cans chopped toms 400ml beef stock
3-4 red chillies - 2 of them deseeded and finely sliced
2 red onions, finely sliced Half a bunch of fresh coriander, chopped
Red wine vinegar to taste
Place the beef on a board and score one side with a sharp knife.
Rub the cinnamon, cumin, paprika and oregano into the cuts in the meat. Season well.
Spray well with Olive Oil Frylight, (to be honest, I use 1 tbsp. of olive oil for this, as it's only 6 Syns)then brown in a large pan over a high heat.
Place the bay leaves, peppers, tomatoes and stock in a large pot and bring to the boil.
Meanwhile, add the chilli and onion to the pan with the brisket, cook for 5 minutes, then transfer the lot to the large pot, cover and leave to simmer for four to four and a half hours.
When cooked, pull the beef apart using two forks. Remove the bay leaves, add a little red wine vinegar and add the fresh coriander.
Adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
Absolutely gorgeous! We had ours with salad, SW wedges and some HEX crusty bread. It's well worth all the ingredients it involves!
