...for crockpot and not
I mentioned smoked Brisket on another fora and was asked to post the recipie here. It is an original, so feel free to re-do the spices to meet you taste. This can be done on a smoker or in the crock-pot.
This stew is actually pareve, but it tastes fleishig because of the Tofurkey™... which tastes surprisingly genuine in this incarnation. Even more bizarre, my picky kids gobble this up, so parents ahoy! it's worth a try.
I use golden beets because my family and I prefer to have the beets peeled before cooking. This is much less of a hassle when the beets are yellow as they do not stain. But there is no reason you cannot use red beets or unpeeled beets of any color. Also, the beet greens can be saved and braised. There are many options, but I have included a second recipe below in the event that you don't have.
Note - crockpot Coq au Vin comes out messier than if you made it the conventional way in the oven... but it's also a lot less labor intensive. Often the chicken is falling off the bone - typical for crockpot recipes. You're trading presentation for ease of use... without affecting taste.
