Glen is in the kitchen fooling around with vaguely Mexican food, making a beef brisket taco recipe. The brisket is slow roasted in beef drippings - its almost beef brisket confit. This is a base for us to figure out where to take the recipe in terms of seasonings and flavours, so yeah many of you are going to say that they would be flavourless... but you would be completely wrong! It's unbelievable how much nuanced flavour comes from cooking the brisket in it's own fat.
