Ingredients
  

For the Brine
  • 3-4 pounds halal brisket
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
  • 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
  • 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 4 cups beef broth (halal-approved)
For the Dish
  • 1 medium head cabbage (roughly cut into wedges)
  • 4 large carrots (peeled and cut into chunks)
  • 4 medium potatoes (peeled and diced)
  • to taste fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by placing your halal brisket in a large pot. Add the kosher salt, black peppercorns, mustard seeds, coriander seeds, and ground ginger.
  2. Pour in the beef broth, ensuring the brisket is fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 5 days.
Cooking
  1. After brining, rinse the brisket under cold water and place it in a large pot. Cover it with fresh water and bring it to a boil.
  2. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2 to 3 hours, or until fork-tender.
  3. Once the meat is tender, add the carrots and potatoes to the pot. Cook for another 15 minutes, then add the cabbage wedges.
  4. Cover and let it all simmer for another 10-15 minutes, until the cabbage is tender but not mushy.
  5. Slice the brisket against the grain and serve it hot with the vegetables. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and enjoy your meal!

Notes

For substitutions, you can swap brisket with halal chuck roast but it may require slightly longer cooking time. Avoid overcooking the cabbage to keep it vibrant and crunchy.
