Food to share. Slow cooked shredded meat makes a great entertaining option as it can be prepared in advance and then served to share. Brisket is a wonderful option for entertaining as it is low cost in comparison to other cuts of beef. I generally use slow cooking in the cooler months but when the meat is shredded it is not at all heavy, especially when paired with a fresh salad and sides. If the day is particularly hot and it prevents you from having the oven going for the cooking duration, set it to cook in a slow cooker (if you have one). If you use a slow cooker it will require much less stock to be added. I estimate that 200 ml would be plenty. The slow cooking process allows the meat to develop an amazing depth of flavor and a soft texture that falls apart in your mouth.
We enjoyed this meal with Chinese Style pancakes to wrap the food (without the spring onion and kale added) and Apple Slaw. It will be back on the menu over the Christmas period.
Do you continue to use slow cooking in the warmer months?
