method

 

1. preheat your oven to 120C˚.

 

2. rub the brisket with the spice blend then add to a crockpot or slow cooker (you may need to chop the brisket into smaller chunks depending on the size of your crockpot).

 

3. add the broth and cook covered for 9 hrs before removing and shredding with 2 forks. if it doesn’t shred easily return to the oven for a further 1-2 hrs.

 

4. remove lid and cook for a further hour to reduce the liquid. season with extra salt before serving if required. if using a slow cooker cook on low for 8-12 hrs until meat shreds apart easily.

 

5. serve with charred corn salsa, guacamole and corn tortillas or roasted sweet potato boats
