SUNNY'S EASY BBQ BRAISED BRISKET WITH SWEET POTATO AND CARROT MASH

Steps:

• Coat the brisket on all sides with the rub and actually rub it in. Pull out a length of plastic wrap for the brisket and drizzle some oil where you plan to place the brisket. Place the brisket on top and drizzle the top with oil. Wrap tightly and rest at room temperature for 2 hours. If you are making this ahead of time, you can refrigerate, then rest on the counter for 2 hours before braising.
• Add 2 tablespoons of oil to a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When the oil begins to swirl, add the brisket and sear on all sides until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
• Add the onions, carrots and potatoes to the pot and cook for a few minutes to coat them in the fat and get a bit of color. Make the contents of the pot as level as possible, toss in the garlic, then place the seared brisket on top of the vegetables.
• Stir together the BBQ sauce and stock in a medium bowl. Add to the pot around the brisket, being careful to only fill halfway up the brisket, leaving a bit of the seared meat above the liquid line (you may not use all the liquid). Raise to a boil and lower to a low simmer. Cook, covered, for 2 to 3 hours without peeking, until the brisket is tender!
• Remove the brisket from the pot to a plate and cover gently with aluminum foil. Remove the vegetables from the pot with a slotted spoon and place in a food processor. Blitz until smooth, adding liquid from the pot if needed for texture. Use the remaining liquid as a sauce for the brisket, if desired. Transfer the mash to a bowl and fold in the parsley. Serve with the sliced brisket and additional sauce.

MY SPICED BUTTERNUT SQUASH, SWEET POTATO, CARROT AND ORANGE SOUP

Steps:

• If you are using a fresh butternut squash, cut it in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Peel it and cut it into 1-inch chunks.
• Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it softens, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger root and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
• While the onions are cooking, peel and dice the sweet potato and carrots.
• Add the cut vegetables and broth; bring to a boil. Lower heat and cook at a gentle boil until the squash is fork-tender, about 20 minutes (but this depends on the size of your squash cubes).
• Puree the soup in several stages in a blender. For safety's sake, since the soup is hot, do not fill the jar more than about 1/4 full each time, and blend on a low speed, covering the lid with an oven mitt. The soup should be completely smooth and a little thicker than heavy cream.
• Rinse your soup pot to remove any small chunks of food and strain it if you like (I do not strain).
• Heat the soup through again and season to taste with cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper and salt.
• Add some almond milk, a little at a time, to give soup a creamier consistency. (Instead of almond milk or Almond Breeze, you could probably use soy or rice milk or half and half).
• Just before serving, add about 2-3 teaspoons fresh orange juice (or to taste) to each bowl, if desired; stir to blend into soup.
• This soup tastes fine when it has been reheated. The soup will thicken as it chills, so you may want to add extra spice right at the start, if you know you will be re-heating some later. You will need extra Almond Breeze to thin it out after it has been refrigerated. I have kept it in the fridge for as long as 4 days and it was fine.
• You can sub pumpkin pie spice for the ground spices listed.
• Because the veggies make the broth very flavorful, you can also use half chicken broth and half water (2 cups of each) with good results.

CARROT, APPLE, AND SWEET POTATO TZIMMES

Continue layering until all ingredients are used up, sprinkling each layer and brown sugar and dotting with margarine. Pour 1 cup water over mixture.
• Cover and bake 30 minutes at 350 degree oven until apples are tender. Uncover and bake 5 more minutes until top is golden.

ROASTED CARROT AND SWEET POTATO TZIMMES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Use a vegetable peeler to peel the zest of two oranges into large strips (be sure to press down only hard enough to remove just the colored part of the skin, not the bitter white pith). Do the same with the lemon. Juice enough oranges to get 2 ½ cups juice. Cut carrots crosswise into 2-inch chunks or lengthwise into 2-inch pieces. Cut the sweet potatoes into large bite-size chunks. Cut shallots into quarters lengthwise. Snip dried fruit in half. Use a roasting pan large enough to accommodate all the vegetables in roughly a single layer (don't go crazy with this, just don't pile them too deeply). Place carrots, potatoes, shallots, dried fruit, and lemon and orange zests into pan. Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Pour juice over all. Roast uncovered until vegetables are tender and browned in places, and the juice is mostly absorbed, about 1 ¼ hours. Turn the vegetables once or twice during the cooking time. If you want more juice in the finished dish, add another ½-1 cup juice during last 20 minutes of cooking time. The juices should thicken slightly. This dish may be made a day ahead and reheated in a 350-degree oven.
