GUIDE / INSTRUCTIONS

For the Dutch Hutspot
  • Put brisket in a large, lidded pot or Dutch oven. Add 1 quart water, bay leaves and salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium, cover and cook at least 2½ hours, turning meat halfway through.
  • Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat; add onions and salt; cook until soft and golden, 6–8 minutes. Remove bay leaves from brisket and discard; add cooked onions and remaining vegetables to brisket. The liquid should just cover meat and vegetables; if it does not, add water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover; cook more 30 minutes until vegetables are soft.
  • Remove meat; keep warm. Remove 2 C (473 g) of liquid; reserve for another use. Mash vegetables in remaining liquid with a masher, leaving some lumps, aiming for a loose, fluffy texture. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Spread vegetable mash on a serving platter and top with brisket sliced thinly across the grain. Offer sharp mustard on the side.
