Instructions
  1. 1

    For the brisket, preheat oven to 150°C/300°F.

  2. 2
    Season the brisket all over with salt and pepper. In a Dutch oven/ovenproof pot with lid, add the oil and sear the brisket on all sides. Add in the onion and fry 3 minutes. Mix the cinnamon, beef stock and simmer sauce and pour over the brisket. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and slow cook in oven about 3-3.5 hours, turning every hour.

    Remove from oven and cool slightly before shredding the meat and adding it back into the sauce. Keep warm until serving.

    To serve, lightly toast the naans on a barbecue or in a frying pan. Serve filled with brisket, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, avocado raita and top with a squeeze of lime, some spring onions and red chillies. Finish with mango chutney and wedges of limes, if desired.
