Irish I May, Irish I Might
So, what is Irish Soda Bread, anyway? The Irish didn't invent it. It's possible that the Austrians did. Even our own native Americans were using potash from their fires to make their bread rise hundreds of years ago. But, in the early and
 mid- 1800's, soda bread became an Irish staple, largely because it was fast, it was easy, and it was cheap. All it really takes is flour, buttermilk, baking soda and salt.
The soft wheat grown in Ireland did not produce flour that held up well to kneading and rising with yeast, so they used bicarbonate of soda (or baking soda) to act as a leavening agent. The result is a dense, hearty bread. It's excellent toasted. Some people enjoy adding currants or raisins to the dough - not me, I'm a purist. I do, however, keep the tradition of carving a cross in the top of the loaf prior to baking......... to scare away the Devil.

Ever see that huge piece of meat in the supermarket called the "Beef Brisket"?

You can basically set it up in the morning then as you come home from work, you will have a delicious meal setup for you. All you did was put all the ingredients in one dish and just pressed "cook".
So next time your at the supermarket, pick up a beef brisket and try our recipe below. You will see how easy it really is!
Ingredients:
1 Brisket Meat (4 Pounds)
1 Small Sized Onion (minced)
3 Clove of Garlic (minced)
1/2 Cup of Dijon Mustard
2 Tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar

You want to start by mixing the garlic, onion, mustard, vinegar, bay leaves, peppercorn, salt, parsley, and celery seed together. Cover the ingredients and put it in the fridge for 24 hours so it becomes a nicely marinated rub.
Next you want to rub the mixture you made on the brisket then you want to wrap it with saran wrap and refrigerate the brisket overnight. You want to make sure it gets marinated well.
When cooking the brisket, place it into a slow cooking equipment like a crockpot with the amount of water mentioned above. Keep it covered when cooking and have the heat on low for about 5 hours.
