Brisket is marinated Goan style, then seared and slow cooked for hours with onions and chillies, once cooked its stored overnight in the fridge…. Then skimmed for excess fat and oven roasted with onions and potatoes. The brisket just falls apart and the gravy is delicious. Perfect to serve as a main or even in sandwiches!

This recipe is similar to my Pot Roast recipe that was passed down by my Aunt Celie, may she rest in peace!
