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.
SWEET POTATO & CARROT MASH
The zesty flavour of fresh ginger brings out the best in this simple, super-healthy, wonderfully low-fat, sweet potato and carrot mash. This is my adaptation of a recipe I found originally on one of my International Masters 'Good for You' recipe cards, which focus on health and nutrition. I use my Recipe #135453 when making this as I know that it is low in salt! I often add sunflower seeds to recipes such as this one and have included them here as an optional ingredient. They provide added nutrition and I just love the textural variation provided by that little bit of crunch! Walnuts would also work well. And yes, I know butter is not exactly healthy, but I do prefer to use it in cooking, so when I've made this recipe, I must confess that I've used butter. If you love sweet potatoes, you may also like my Recipe #124938, also very healthy but quite different from this recipe.

Steps:
- Put the carrot, sweet potato, apple and stock in a saucepan over a high heat; add 2 cups of water and bring to the boil; reduce the heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork and the liquid has reduced; cover with a lid and set aside for 10 minutes.
- Heat the margarine (or butter) in a medium-sized non-stick pan over a medium heat and pan-fry the leek for about 3 minutes or until it softens, then add the onion, garlic and ginger, stirring to make sure that the ginger is mixed through the other ingredients, cook for 2-3 minutes; remove the pan from the heat and transfer the contents of the pan together with the carrot and sweet potato mixture into a food processor and process together until smooth.
- Transfer to a serving bowl, stir through the coriander leaves (and sunflower seeds if including) and serve.
