Pulled brisket by Adross Farm Shop
OUR family set up Ardross Farm Shop to sell our own produce including our succulent 28 day aged grassfed beef and lamb, and the wide array of vegetables we grow in the fields surrounding the shop which we pick fresh every day.
We stock everything you would need for an inspiring local weekly shop.
Every product within our shop is taste tested by one of the family (a hardship we know!) so we can fully recommend all our products, as well as giving cooking and serving suggestions.
However, after trying all these fantastic products our family favourite for dinner still has to be Mum’s pulled brisket flat breads.

INGREDIENTS: Serves 8
3 tbsp rapeseed oil
2-2½ kg Ardross beef brisket, rolled
2 red onions chopped
1 tbsp sweet smoked paprika
1 tbsp English mustard powder
2 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp cayenne pepper
1½ tbsp treacle
2 tbsp plus 50ml red wine vinegar
2 tbsp plus 75g soft light brown sugar
3 garlic cloves crushed
4 bay leaves
3 fat red chillies, pierced a few times with a small sharp knife
500ml passata
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Method:
1 Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan. Season the beef and sear until browned all over. Lift out and place in a slow cooker or casserole dish with a tightfitting lid.
2 Add another 1 tbsp oil and the onions to the frying pan and sweat for 10 minutes until really soft.
3 Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the paprika, mustard powder, cinnamon, cayenne, treacle, 2 tablespoons of vinegar, 2 tablespoons of sugar and the remaining oil. Brush all over the meat, reserving about 2 tablespoons for later.
4 Heat oven to 150°C/130°C fan/gas 2, if not using a slow cooker.
5 Add the garlic, bay leaves and chillies to the softened onions, cook for 2 minutes, then pour in the passata, Worcestershire sauce, remaining vinegar and sugar. Season the sauce, and pour over the brisket. Cover with a lid, and bake for 5 hours, turning once or twice during cooking, until really tender.
6 Brush the remaining spice paste over the meat. Cook for a further 20 minutes until the meat is dark and sticky.
7 Remove from the oven or slow cooker, cover loosely with foil and leave to rest for 15 minutes.
8 Lift the meat on to a board.
Pour the sauce through a sieve to remove the chillies

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
