Ingredients

4 Bannisters Yorkshire Family Farm Baked Jacket Potatoes 1kg beef brisket

2 carrots, peeled

2 sticks celery, quartered

1 red onion, peeled and diced chunkily

2 tbsp smoked paprika

2 Guajillo dried chillies, stem removed and chopped

4 – 6 large cloves of garlic, chopped

½ bottle red wine

1 beef stock cube or pot

Dash of soy sauce

2 bay leaves

1 green chilli, chopped

3 star anise

2 tbsp cornflour

salt & pepper to season

200g grated cheese to top

2 chillies, sliced

1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Drizzle of hot honey

Method

  1. Pan fry the brisket in a hot pan with some oil until the meat is sealed, then place in the slow cooker.
  2. In the same pan, add the carrots, celery and onion, smoked paprika and the dried Guajillo chillies (including the seeds). Add the garlic and fry together until golden.
  3. Deglaze the pan with red wine to get the meat juices off the bottom.
  4. Add the stock pot or cube and soy sauce, bay leaves, green chillies and star anise pieces
  5. Add the mix to the slow cooker and top up over the meat with cold water. Place on low overnight or cook on high for 5 hours. Check it’s soft by prodding with a knife.
  6. Once the meat is cooked remove from the slow cooker and allow to cool. Pull the brisket – this should fall apart easily.
  7. Bring the leftover liquid to the boil and thicken with 2 tbsp of cornflour to 4 tbsp water. Stir together to form a white mix and pour into the boiling stock to thicken.
  8. Check the seasoning and add salt and pepper if needed – also remove your star anise and bay leaves and discard.
  9. Pour this hot mixture over the pulled brisket and allow to cool until needed.
  10. Cook your Bannisters Baked Jackets as per pack instructions. Cut with a criss cross and spoon over the sticky brisket with plenty of sauce.
  11. Sprinkle over your three cheeses and sliced chillies. Add chopped parsley and a generous drizzle of hot honey.
