Ingredients:
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1-2 onions, sliced
-
3-4 pounds chuck or beef brisket
-
3-4 large carrots, peeled and cut into
chunks
-
2-3 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into
chunks
-
1 1/2 cups dried prunes, pitted
(soak them
30 min. if really dry)
-
1/2 cup honey
-
zest and juice of 1 lemon
-
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
-
a few grindings of peppercorns
-
water
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In oven safe
casserole or pan, heat the oil and then
cook the onion, stirring and cooking until
light brown. Set the meat on top of the
onions, and then arrange the carrots,
potatoes, and prunes around the sides.
Spoon the honey over, sprinkle with lemon
zest, lemon juice, cinnamon, salt and
pepper. Pour over enough water just to
cover the meat. Cover the pot and bring to
a boil on the range, and then put in oven
for 4 hours.
To serve, slice meat and arrange
vegetables around. Drizzle with any
remaining juices. |
