Sweet and Sticky Brisket
Ten-hour brisket started Saturday morning and served for the fam as Sunday dinner. I was going for a honey BBQ flavor profile and it turned out so delicious, especially paired the Garlic Cauliflower Mash. Serves 4 as a single serving.
INGREDIENTS
3½ lb grassfed brisket, trimmed
Marinade:
½ cup ketchup
½ cup molasses
2 tsp dijon mustard
4 Tbsp honey
⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
1 tsp garlic powder
JF Spicy Salt, to taste
1 Tbsp worcestershire, to taste (optional)
Spice Rub:
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp JF Spicy Salt
½ tsp fresh cracked black pepper
Garlic Cauliflower Mash:
1 bulb of garlic, roasted
1 (24oz) bag riced cauliflower, defrosted (I like 365)
Olive oil

Vegan butter (optional)
PROCESS
Garlic Cauliflower Mash
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375º. Slice the head off your bulb of garlic, wrap it in foil, and place it in the oven to roast; remove when tender.
Step 2: Warm the olive oil in a large pan and begin to sauté your defrosted cauliflower rice. Throw in the roasted garlic cloves and allow this to come together over the heat.
Step 3: Season with JF Spicy Salt. Mash with an immersion blender until smooth. Transfer to a blender if needed. Set aside.
Marinade
In a small bowl, add the ketchup, molasses, dijon, honey, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and JF Spicy Salt. Whisk to combine.
Spice Rub
Combine all of your spices. Set aside.

Step 2: Cover and cook for 10 hours.
Step 3: Once 10 hours have elapsed, transfer the sauce to a large pan and allow it to reduce for about an hour. Remove from the heat when you've reached your desired consistency.
