Description

A gorgeous Jamie Oliver recipe, adapted slightly to be Slimming World friendly

Syns: 1.5 per portion


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 kg approx piece of beef brisket, all visible fat removed (you’ll need a good sharp knife)
  • 1 head of celery (trimmed and chopped into chunks)
  • 4 small red onions (peeled and quartered)
  • 1/2 a bunch rosemary
  • 2 fresh bay leaves
  • 1 lemon

  • 1 tbsp port (1.5 syns)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (6 syns)

Instructions

  3. Put the brisket into the pan and sear all over for 10 minutes, turning to ensure all sides are browned.
  4. Add the onion and celery to the pan, reduce the heat and cook gently for 5-10 minutes until slightly softened.
  5. In a jug or bowl, mix the lemon juice, passata, worcestershire sauce, tabasco, vodka and port together.
  6. 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.
  7. Take off the heat and cover the casserole dish with damp greaseproof paper and tin foil.
  8. Cook in the oven for 5-6 hours until the meat is tender and falling apart
