For
this example slave is using a Dinnertime of 7 PM. The times
slave has marked are based on this. Slave hopes you will see how,
with preparation, a dinner like this can flow. This allows you to
focus on making each part the best you can.
Crock
Pot:
9AM
Put the carrots and celery on the bottom of the slow cooker and turn
it on low. Add apple juice and 1 cup water along with contents of
the spice packet.
Rinse
the brisket off well
under
running
water
and pat dry with paper towels. Then lay that (with
fat side up) on
the celery and carrots. Cover with the onion chunks and
the leek.
The lid then goes on and you let it cook on low
for 8 hours, in
our example 5 PM
5
PM: lift the brisket out, add
potatoes and push down into liquid. Return the beef, cover and turn
up the heat to HIGH
6:30
PM The pot has been on HIGH for
1 ½ hours at this point, so start the cabbage. But
first turn on the oven to pre-heat to 350. When the buzzer goes off
stick in the bread to warm. It will be ready when the cabbage is
done.
Many recipes call for the cabbage to cook in the pot with the corn
beef. Slave prefers
to do this on the stove in a
deep frying pan with a lid. (Chicken Fryer).
Cook
the bacon over medium heat until crisp, remove to paper towel to
drain and cut into small pieces.
With
the pan still on the heat add the butter or substitute to
the drippings to melt.
Pile
in the chopped cabbage in
thirds, stirring well to coat
between each addition.
Add 1/3 cup water or 1/3 cup of the cooking liquid from
the crock pot! This will cook
way down but may get messy when trying to stir.
Cover
with lid and let cook about 10 to 15 minutes. Lift the lid and
sprinkle in the bacon pieces. Cover and cook until desired
“done-ness”. Slave prefers a bit of crunch left in the cabbage.
Remember
cabbage has a lot of water in its leaves already, that plus what you
have added will be sufficient to steam the vegetable well.
The Presentation:
7
PM:
Make
sure the table is set, and drinks are in place and let Master invite
guests to sit at the table.
With
slotted spoon, transfer cabbage to a serving bowl and place on table.
Let that great smell tease Master's guests!
Next
lift out the brisket carefully, it will be fork tender. Let it sit on
cutting board covered with a piece of foil.
With
slotted spoon, scoop the vegetables out of the crock pot. Putting the
potatoes in one large bowl and the rest in the other. Serve those
bowls next.
Then
carry out the hot bread.
Now
the brisket: Cut it in
slices across the grain and place on large platter.
Now
the platter can make its entrance!
While
everyone is eating and complimenting your Master, pour the cooking
juices from the crock pot into a large bowl to cool and save. This
can be substituted for broth in soups for the coming days.
When
the table is cleared and small desert plates are out, perhaps coffee
is served. Then bring
out the covered brownies and open them after they are in place on
table.
These
are slave's suggestions. They are staged to tempt with aromas and
tastes to the best advantage.
Never
EXPECT any compliments! However, just between us slaves, don't be
too surprised by your Master's appreciation. He will know how many
hours you have served making this great meal for Him and His guests.
Grateful
to be owned by Master:
