Brisket

Last night I tried a new recipie..sweet and sour. Browned it in a big le crueset heavy dutch oven, than added onions, beef stock, mushrooms, carrots, ketchup, brown sugar and apple cider vinegar. Put brisket back in, left in oven at 350 for 3 hours, last 1/2 uncovered. Oh and put a bunch of string beans on top.
Served over a big baked potato...
Any other recipies you can share?

So sorry...should not have put under pizza. Brisket on pizza - bad.

Brisket is among the most versatile of meats, and, of course, it has led to divorces among Jewish couples who start fighting over whose momma's brisket is best.

It can be BBQ'd (VERY big in Texas), cooked as you did, cooked with any pot roast recipe. A simple way is dump a bag of Lipton's soup mix over it and a cup or so of red wine, then 3 hrs in the oven. You can put any veggies you like around it. One of my favorite recent cookbooks, "All About Braising" by Molly Stevens, has several unusual recipes including one that uses a spice paste with red chillies, lemongrass, cloves,ginger and galangal and a braising liquid using cinnamon, star anise, kaffir lime leaves and coconut milk (the result must be something like brisket swimming in my favorite soup: Tom Kha Gai). And she has others such as one with rhubarb and a liquid that includes white wine, raisins, ginger, orange zest, honey and chicken or veal stock (an alternative is siumilar and uses apples).

We moved it to the Recipe Forum . It seems much happier now.

Cite please.

Sounds great, but my local purveyor is all out of galangal and this time of year it's almost impossible to get the elusive kaffir lime leaves. Any substitutions? Chow Jim

Substitutions not required--they are not "out" here: http://importfood.com/freshthaiproduce.html
