The fact of the matter is, sometimes the best things in life
take a little extra time.... waiting for homemade ice cream to churn and then
freeze is ultimately more rewarding than anything you can eat out of a carton, Fiji Water,
yes, you know the fancy water I'm talking about, tastes particularly fresh
because it is tapped at the source after its journey from cloud to aquifer, and
that ten year old friendship that's been cultivated over years is always going
to mean more than the new acquaintance down the street. The same can be said
about this beer-braised brisket served over cheesy polenta.
It's a two day process, beginning with a four hour
cook in the oven, an overnight rest to soak up flavor, and a final reheat of the
tender meat. The finished product melts in your mouth; the creamy polenta sops
up all of the juices left behind and the caramelized onion jam takes the entire
dish up a notch. This recipe is a labor of love, and one that deservedly tastes
as such! Learn this lesson alongside of me; when you slow down enough to savor
something, even at the expense of your supposedly valuable time, you gain
perspective, patience, and, dare I say it, perfection!
