Poodles, first and foremost, please make this Easy Braised Brisket from Cooking Light as soon as you can. For something that was made out of five ingredients this was insanely good. I was little thrown off by the olives at first but combined with the tomatoes and oregano they helped round out the sauce beautifully. Mmmm and the brisket was perfectly moist and fork tender. One recommendation, I kept adding more water as I went or I would have burned the heck out the brisket. Just keep an eye on it because a 1/2 cup of water on my stove was just not going to cut it. Besides that small issue, this was amazing and even better the next day for lunch!
Moving on to our menu plan this week, I’m revisiting some recipes to give David a chance to try them too – I think he’s going to love that cheeseburger:
Sunday: Coffee-Rubbed Cheeseburgers with Texas BBQ Sauce and Garlic Fries
Monday: Crab Cakes with Roasted Vegetables and Tangy Butter Sauce
Tuesday: Malaysian Beef Curry
Wednesday: White Pizza with Tomato and Basil
Fingers crossed we’ve got some good dishes coming up! Also, if you are a social media poodle, follow me on Twitter @EAIFood and on the Cooking Inside the Lines Facebook page. I tend to posts quick recipe reviews and food news there as well!
Emily – what would you suggest as a side for the brisket? I think I may make this soon!
I made this classic potato salad last week for another brisket dish and it was awesome: http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=10000000222516 Some nice bread and you’ve got a complete meal. I made the jalapeno corn bread pudding to go along with this and it was just ok. I hope you like it Nakiya!
Hrmmm, unfortunately Dan (my hubby) doesn’t like potato salad! But maybe roasted potatoes would be a good substitute?
http://www.bonappetit.com/recipes/quick-recipes/2011/03/grilled_chive_potatoes Give these a try, they were pretty good too but that brisket was definitely the star of the meal!
I would very much like to nom this.
I shall make this when you arrive poodle so you can nom away!
