BLOODY MARY BEEF
I’ve been dying to try out this recipe as it looked mouth-wateringly good in the Jamie’s Comfort Food book (click here). I’ve neglected this book since starting Slimming World as a lot of the food in it is pretty decadent, but when I looked again at this recipe I realised that it’s actually very Slimming World friendly! I made a couple of small adjustments but it makes a gorgeous, rich meal with very few syns.

Ingredients
Scale

- 1 head of celery (trimmed and chopped into chunks)
- 4 small red onions (peeled and quartered)
- 1/2 a bunch rosemary

- Season the brisket (fat trimmed away) with salt and pepper. Place a casserole pan (approx 25cm wide, 10cm high) over a high heat and add the olive oil
- Put the brisket into the pan and sear all over for 10 minutes, turning to ensure all sides are browned.
- Add the onion and celery to the pan, reduce the heat and cook gently for 5-10 minutes until slightly softened.
- In a jug or bowl, mix the lemon juice, passata, worcestershire sauce, tabasco, vodka and port together.
- Pour the bloody mary mix into the beef pan along with 500ml cold water and some salt and pepper. Pop in the rosemary and bay and bring to the boil.
- Take off the heat and cover the casserole dish with damp greaseproof paper and tin foil.
