No ratings yet 160 min Serves 4 Italian
A great way to cook brisket. The meat is first seasoned in garlic and olive oil and then baked together with carrots, scallions, onions, parsley and celery. It is served with a simple olive oil and vinegar dressing, infused with herbs. This dish is great with roasted potatoes and a green salad.

Ingredients

  • 3–4 lb brisket
  • For seasoning the meat
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • Salt, black pepper and thyme (dried or fresh) to taste
  • 1 to 2 large onions, quartered
  • 1 celery stock, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup parsley (coarsely chopped)
  • 2-4 carrots, coarsely chopped
  • 4-6 scallions, whole
  • For the dressing
  • 1 tbsp fresh oregano (substiture with 1/2 Tbsp dried oregano; finely chopped)
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary (substiture with 1/2 Tbsp dried rosemary; finely chopped)
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 6 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp wine vinegar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Cover the brisket with 2 Tbsp of olive oil and season with salt, pepper, thyme, and crushed garlic. Set aside.

Blanch the scallions for about 10 seconds. Place the onion, celery, parsley, carrots, and scallions in a baking dish together with the briskets and cook for 2 ½ hours.

To make the dressing
In a bowl add the crushed garlic, oregano, rosemary, olive oil and wine vinegar. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well, cover with plastic foil and refrigerate until the brisket is ready. Before serving, remove it from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature.

Serve the brisket with the baked vegetables, with the dressing on top.
