Serves the Zahavas

First, go to to Meatland in Raanana, or catch a ride to Hatzi Hinam with Elisheva (or ask Elisheva to buy it for you) and buy Pickled Brisket of Beef.

After you cook the corned beef, you have to slice it thin, pack it in a box, put it in your bag and take it by train to Zahava’s.



Ingredients:

1 Pickled Brisket of Beef (see intro)
to cover   water
a few Bay leaves, allspice, peppercorns - optional



Preparation:

  1. Put meat into the pressure cooker. Don’t rinse – you want all the clinging spices! Cover with water. You can add a few Bay leaves, allspice, peppercorns etc.
  2. Cook on full pressure for 30 minutes.
  3. Take out, put on plate, cover & cool. Put in refrigerator until cold.
  4. Take good knife (sharpen  for good measure, and push the cat off the counter. You can also yell – no food for you! Go away! Or, give her small bits while cutting. Depends on your mood.) or electric knife (better, and Baloo the cat doesn’t come) and slice thinly.
  5. Serve cold with good pumpernickel bread, Dijon mustard, garlic pickles & sauerkraut. OR – take to Zahava’s!
