pickled brisket for supper

[Guest guest]

Zehava's future in laws are in London now; staying with their

cousins, and Zehava is over there meeting and getting to know them

now. They are coming over to us for supper at 6.30 (it's 5.10 now). I

am making pickled brisket. It's DEEELICIOUS.

Here's the recipe.

1 3-4 lb rolled piece of pickled brisket.

1 big jar of " chrane " (kosher horseradish and beet sauce). (eg jam jar

sized)

Half a good sized glass of sugar.

Boil the brisket in plenty of water. Once it boils and lots of scum

rises, throw the whole of the first lot of water and scum away, and

fill the pan with fresh cold water. Boil the meat again, and this

time let it cook until tender.

Pour off almost all the water, just leaving a couple of inches in the

saucepan. Take the meat out. To this remaining water add the chrane

and sugar. Bring to the boil again until it reduces a bit more and

forms a rich red sweet and sour sauce for the meat. Slice the meat and

serve with the sauce.

I am serving this with sweet and sour cabbage (quick stir fried white

cabbage shredded, add soy sauce, wine vinegar, sugar and a bit of soup

powder for seasoning), and roast potatoes.

I just have to think of an hors d'euvres that's quick and easy. Maybe

melon or mango...
