Hello BBers
Please share an easy recipe you love. If you have a story of where your recipe(s) came from, chat away. Feel free to write your recipe in any format you like! I can't wait to try Mara's specialty Rocky Road..... like yesterday.
Here's mine. A perfect 'day off' meal and absolutely wonderful for Winter. You can prep in the morning and put it together at lunchtime for dinner. I made up the recipe after a few dismal failures lol. I have ideas for any leftover cooked stock mixture later...
Beef brisket - the BB easy peasy way.
You'll need:
1 beef brisket that fits into your baking tray with some room.
1L beef stock. 2L if the brisket is BIG.
Worcestershire sauce.
2 onions sliced anyway you like.
Mushrooms sliced thickly - as many as you like.
Oil - any type.
Salt.
Pepper.
A baking tray... the best tasting one I've made was cooked in a cast iron, enameled baking tray but any will do.
Aluminium foil to cover the baking tray.
A frying pan / skillet.
Utensils for pan and tray.
Oven gloves.
Oven & stove top.
To cook:
Pour cold stock & 2 tblsp W sauce into baking tray.
Saute onions in oil in pan & add to baking tray.
Brown mushies as above & add to baking tray.
Sprinkle salt / pepper over brisket.
Brown both sides of brisket in pan then add to baking tray.
Cover whole tray with foil & scrunch under edges.
Spoon stock mixture over brisket to coat.
NB: The stock mixture needs to come up to around half way on side of brisket. Add more stock if needed.
Slow cook in warm oven c110C for about 2h.
Check.
Turn brisket.
Repeat.
Taste to see if more W sauce is needed.
Rest meat for 15 mins.
Slice and serve.
Note: IF you want a pulled beef effect then you can cook longer until beef is falling apart. Add to sliders, Turkish bread.
If this isn't easy for you, sorry! I have a great Boscaiola coming up later that is super easy, promise.

melt it all together until smooth over low heat, and add to a pre prepared slice tin.
chill in the fridge until you cant resist anymore.

Wow Sleepy21 Lentil Bolognese with gf pasta.... you're really showing your culinary skills now lol...
PLEASE Post this one when you're ready, doesn't have to be Sleepy21 perfect lol... just yum that's all.
My cheeky tip is to add turmeric... I add turmeric to everything lol! And when the kids asked me what I added it to, I said if you don't look I'll add it to your orange juice lol!
Only joking tho... I saw a whole program of the health benefits of turmeric so that's that, I even grow it now.
I'm gonna try that gf pasta, thanks for the tip!
Love EM
