What Started it all:
Brisket, Broccoli, salt, oven

This delightful dish brings together the rich, comforting flavors of slow-cooked brisket with the vibrant freshness of broccoli. Perfect for a cozy dinner that feels special yet is simple to prepare.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 kg brisket
  • 300 g broccoli, cut into florets
  • Salt, to taste
  • Olive oil (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
  2. Season the brisket with salt generously, ensuring every inch is covered.
  3. Place the brisket in a roasting pan, and drizzle with a little olive oil to help it roast beautifully.
  4. Cover the pan tightly with foil to keep all the moisture in, and place it in the oven. Let it cook for about 3 to 4 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
  5. About 30 minutes before the brisket is done, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
  6. Drain the broccoli and set aside. If you like, you can toss it with a little olive oil and a sprinkle of salt for extra flavor.
  7. Once the brisket is ready, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
  8. Serve the sliced brisket on a platter, accompanied by the vibrant broccoli on the side. Drizzle any pan juices over the top for added flavor.

This Mexican-style brisket with broccoli is a delightful fusion of flavors and textures, perfect for a family gathering or a comforting weeknight meal. Enjoy the warmth it brings to your table!
