Smoky Corned Moose or Beef Brisket

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Tbsp. Pickling Spice Seasoning, divided
  • 4 Tbsp. Applewood Smoked Sea Salt , divided
  • 1 Tbsp. Onion Obsession Spice Blend
  • 1 ½ cup kosher salt
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 pound ice
  • 4-5lb moose or beef brisket
  • 2 gallon zip-top bag
  • 1 head cabbage, cut into thick wedges
  • 4 carrots, cut into segments
  • 4 potatoes, halved

Instructions
 

  • Crush 3 Tbsp. of TSTE Pickling Spice Seasoning & add to a large pot with 12 cups of water, 3½ Tbsp. Applewood Smoked Sea Salt, kosher salt & brown sugar. Stir. Heat to a boil.
    Once a full boil is reached, remove from heat & add ice. Chill to at least 45°F. Trim excess fat from brisket.
    Place a 2 gallon zip-top bag in a large leak-proof container. Put brisket and chilled brine into bag and seal, squeezing out air.
    Refrigerate 5-7 days, flipping brisket once a day.
    Rinse brisket thoroughly. In large pot, cover brisket with 1-inch of water.
    Add remaining crushed Pickling Spice Seasoning & heat to simmer.
    Simmer 3-4 hrs until meat is fork-tender. Remove meat and keep warm.
    Add Onion Obsession Spice Blend & remaining Applewood Smoked Sea Salt (½ Tbsp.) to cooking liquid along with vegetables until potatoes are done, about 20 mins.
    Slice corned brisket across the grain and serve!

The basic idea is simple. Pie dough, leeks, squash, and in the original, dark greens. I took my version in a wild direction with ground moose and lingonberries. I imagine this recipe would also be a great way to use up game and squash or mashed sweet potatoes from a holiday meal.
