Introduction from Rukmini Iyer

A Sunday roast with a twist. The sharp, Argentinian parsley sauce is a wonderful and unusual accompaniment to the meat and vegetables.

Ingredients

1 tsp chilli flakes
1 lemon, zest only
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
6 sprigs of fresh oregano, finely chopped
2 tsp sea salt
3 tbsp olive oil
1kg brisket, rolled
600g butternut squash, cut into 4cm chunks
1 red onion, quartered
400ml chicken stock
100ml white wine vinegar
For the chimichurri:
30g fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 red chilli, finely chopped
1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
5 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp white wine
sea salt

Method

Preheat the oven to 130°c fan/150°c/gas 2. Mix together the chilli flakes, lemon zest, garlic, oregano, salt and olive oil, then rub this mixture all over the brisket and into the centre of the roll.

Tip the butternut squash, red onion, chicken stock and white wine vinegar into a roasting tin, and put the beef on top. Cover tightly with foil, then place in the oven and roast for 3 hours.

Meanwhile, make the chimichurri. Mix the parsley, chilli and garlic with the olive oil and white wine vinegar, and season to taste with sea salt.

Serve the cooked beef and butternut squash with the chimichurri alongside.
