BRISKET MINA
Mina is the Ladino word for pie. This Passover dish, common throughout the Sephardic world, is almost too good to be true. Once the matzo is soaked and baked, it magically transforms into something more like traditional pastry than unleavened bread. Mina has great vegetarian potential and can be filled with anything from eggplant to spinach and cheese to potatoes. The mina is topped with the fruit-and-nut condiment so crucial to the Passover table: charoset. Cardamom is used to flavor coffee and in sweets throughout the Middle East, but the cardamom-coffee combination works perfectly in savory recipes like this one. The cardamom is super piney and fragrant, with a sweetness that balances the roasty, bitter coffee and the rich, salty meat.

Steps:
- For the charoset: Combine the carrots, apple, cilantro, walnuts, horseradish, raisins, vinegar and salt in a medium bowl. Toss to combine. Set aside.
- For the mina: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Brush the bottom and sides of a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or baking dish with oil.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, onion and salt and cook until the vegetables have softened but not browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the coffee if using and cardamom and stir to combine. Add the shredded brisket and 1/4 cup water or reserved brisket braising liquid and mix to combine until warm. Transfer the brisket mixture to a large bowl and let cool for 10 minutes, then stir in the egg.
- Soak the matzo in warm water until pliable, about 1 minute, the remove to a clean kitchen towel to rest, about 5 minutes. Line the bottom and sides of the oiled cast iron skillet with the matzo, breaking up the pieces as needed to completely cover the bottom and sides of the skillet. Spoon the brisket mixture evenly over the bottom and cover the top with more matzo. Fold over the edges of the matzo running up the sides to seal the brisket, adding extra pieces of matzo to completely cover. Drizzle with canola oil and bake until the mina is golden brown and crisp, about 30 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes.
- Invert the mina onto a serving platter. Slice into wedges and serve topped with the charoset.
MAMALEH'S BRISKET
The point cut is the fattier end of the brisket. It's more tender and especially delicious because of the marbling. Ask for it first.

Steps:
- Season brisket all over with ground pepper and 1/4 cup Diamond Crystal or 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons Morton salt, rubbing into the grain. Wrap tightly in plastic and chill at least 3 hours and up to 3 days.
- Place a rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 275°F. Heat schmaltz in a large roasting pan set over 2 burners on high. Unwrap brisket; cook, reducing heat if needed, until browned, 7-10 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet.
- Reduce heat to medium-high. Add onions, carrots, and celery to pan; season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and just softened, 15-18 minutes. Add wine, bring to a boil, and cook until evaporated, 8-10 minutes. Add garlic, thyme, bay leaves, peppercorns, and broth; bring to a boil. Nestle brisket into aromatics and cover tightly with foil; braise in oven until meat is very tender but still holds its shape, 2-3 hours. Let cool, then chill at least 8 hours and up to 2 days.
- Preheat oven to 250°F. Remove solidified fat from surface of braising liquid; discard. Transfer brisket to a platter. Strain braising liquid into a large measuring glass; discard solids. Return liquid to pan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half, velvety and intensely flavored, but not overly salty, about 30 minutes.
- Return brisket to pan, cover with foil, and heat in oven until warmed through, 60-90 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and slice against the grain. Arrange on platter and pour braising liquid over.

NANA'S BRISKET
This is my grandmother's brisket recipe and the sauce is especially good on kasha varnishkes. I like making it in a crockpot, but my mother still makes it on the stovetop or in the oven, which are both good options. If you can't find Washington's Rich Brown Seasoning (try online), beef bouillon powder can be substituted (but it won't be as good!) The sauce is thin, and I've tried thickening it before, but it isn't as good.

Steps:
- Mix all ingredients.
- Marinate brisket 8-24 hours( I like to use an oven roasting bag).
- Slow roast 4- 5 hours at 250 degrees.
- Allow the brisket to rest before slicing thinly across the grain.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of brisket. Brisket is a tough cut of meat, so it needs to be cooked slowly and carefully to break down the connective tissue and make it tender. The best cuts of brisket for smoking are the flat cut and the point cut. The flat cut is leaner and has a more consistent texture, while the point cut is fattier and has more flavor.
- Trim the brisket. Before you smoke the brisket, you need to trim off the excess fat. This will help the brisket cook evenly and prevent it from becoming greasy.
- Season the brisket. There are many different ways to season a brisket, but some common ingredients include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. You can also use a pre-made brisket rub.
- Cook the brisket at a low temperature. The ideal temperature for smoking a brisket is between 225 and 250 degrees Fahrenheit. This will allow the brisket to cook slowly and evenly without drying out.
- Wrap the brisket in foil or butcher paper. Once the brisket has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, you can wrap it in foil or butcher paper to help it finish cooking and retain its moisture.
- Let the brisket rest. After the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing it. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Smoking a brisket is a great way to enjoy this delicious and versatile cut of meat. By following these tips, you can ensure that your brisket turns out perfect every time.
