My first brisket
Brisket no# 5 -
Tastes as good as looks. Wrong. Even better!

Brisket recipe: this was a new recipe for me:
3 onions chopped large
1/4 sherry or wine vinegar
1/4 cup Silan / brown sugar / honey
6 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon coarse black pepper
salt for taste
2 cups water Stock (optional)
preheat oven to 150c
place onions on the bottom of pan, then brisket on top of onions
mix the remainder of ingredients and pour over brisket
cover with baking paper then seal with aluminum foil
cook for 2.5 hours. I added another 2.5 hours as the brisket was not even close to being done after 2.5hours. I could have just added 1.5 though
after brisket is done, broil uncovered for 5-10 minutes at 200c, to crisp the surface.
for gravy, pour liquids from pan into a saucepan
add 1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons flour
bring to boil
pour gravy over meat when serving (I am lazier than that so just poured it into the pan with the meat now)
