I just had another successful experiment tonight. Corned beef in a
crockpot with very little liquid added. The corned beef was very dense
and compact with all the fat trimmed away. I added 1 tb veg oil, 1 tb
cider vinegar, 2 tb cider and even though the brisket came with a nice
coating of mixed pickling spices, a bay leaf, some cracked peppercorns
and a generous shake of dried chile flakes. I simmered the meat 12
hours half submerged in a spicy salty pool of liquid, turning it every
two hours. After 12 hours it was pullable and shredded nicely. Towards
the end I added a layer of diced potato in the liquid under the meat and
some sliced cabbage on top of the meat. Because I hadn't soaked the
brisket before cooking it or boiled it in a large pot of water it
remained very salty but this was muted by the sweet cider and the hot
spices. Talk about strong flavours! It was the most intense corned beef
I have ever come across.
