Holiday Brisket
Directions
- 1Place the 3-pound first cut brisket in the roaster.
- 2Coat the brisket with oil, aromatic spices (onion powder, allspice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper), Dijon mustard, and apricot preserves, rubbing it well on both sides.
- 3Top the brisket with golden potatoes (halved, peel on), sweet potatoes/yams (halved, peel on), shallots, carrots (peeled), celery root (peeled, large chunks), and two whole garlic heads (tops trimmed, outer layer removed).
- 4Crack open a bottle of red wine and pour some on top of the vegetables.
- 5Finish by pouring chicken stock over the ingredients.
- 6Tuck in some pitted prunes for extra sweetness.
- 7Sprinkle some flaky salt on top.
- 8Place a bundle of fresh herbs (sage, thyme, and rosemary) right into the center of the dish.
- 9Cover the roaster and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for three hours.
- 10Uncover for another 30 minutes so everything caramelizes beautifully.
- 11Serve it straight from the roaster or plate it with the brisket in the center and all the rich vegetables around.
