My mumsnetted brisket

[IHaveBrilloHair]

Number three joint, after the gammon and chicken, this is what I did with the brisket.

Brisket with smoky chilli beans, tortilla chips, sour cream etc.

French onion soup

Brisket yuk sung.

Brisket ragu

Brisket and mushroom stroganoff, broccoli and rice

French dip baguettes

Curry night.
Bottom left, brisket bhuna.

Right sorry, bottom right.
Next up is either pork leg or lamb shoulder, not quite decided.

Wow, fantastic!

Good going!
So, how many people did that feed per meal, and how much was the initial joint of meat?
And how did you cook it?

I love your curry platter.

It was £8.38.
I slow cooked it with a load of sliced onions, which became the French onion soup, each meal had two servings, one each for 14yr old Dd and me.

I am not fit to stand before you....

I love everything you've done and I esp like the idea of the metal platter dish for the curry night. Where did you get it?

You are my heroine! I love your food threads. I want to eat every one of those dishes - they look so professionally presented. Even when my food tastes lovely, it still looks very DIY.

Wow they all look fantastic and really professional. I think I have done well if I remember to freeze leftovers for my mum!

Thank you, I'm just a home cook, but I love playing about in the kitchen and meal planning.
I got the curry dish from Amazon.

How did you make the French onion soup, please?

In this case it was just the onions and stock from the meat, but if making from scratch I use Delias recipe.

That is seriously impressive, Brillo!

Love the presentation of the dishes too. You should write a blog or something.

I had one, I got bored with it!
There's so many out there that unless it's really brilliant not many people read them, and what I really wanted was to chat about food and share ideas and that wasn't happening.
I belong to a few FB groups now to chat/share photos etc, have even made friends that way.

Thanks, we often have slow cooker brisket but never thought of doubling it up with onion soup, great idea.

I love the way you present your meals. They look so appealing!

Brillo, do you have a blog? (and another cool username that I can please have)

Just seen your comment up thread, couldn't see it on phone.

You should do threads like these more often, very inspiring.

Love this thread Brillo - every single dish looks so tasty! Would love to see more of your ideas for inspiration, please post again when you do your next joint .

Right off to buy a joint of brisket!

Defo will buy one of those curry trays.

Can I ask, when you made the curry/ragu/asain dish you reheated the brisket with spices/chopped tomatos/yogurt etc?
