Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 17

For stuffing
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups chopped onions
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed dry
2 whole matzo sheets, finely crumbled (about 1 cup)
1 large egg, beaten to blend
For brisket
1 4-pound flat-cut brisket
2 pounds onions, thinly sliced
2 1/4 cups canned chicken broth
3 large carrots, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 celery stalks, sliced
5 garlic cloves, peeled
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • Make stuffing:
  • Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add onions, garlic and thyme; sauté until onions soften, about 5 minutes. Cool 15 minutes. Mix in spinach and matzo. Season stuffing with salt and pepper. Mix in egg.
  • Make brisket:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut deep pocket in 1 side of brisket, leaving 3/4-inch border of meat uncut on remaining 3 sides. Fill pocket with stuffing. Skewer or sew pocket closed. Sprinkle salt and pepper all over brisket.
  • Arrange half of onions in bottom of large roasting pan. Place brisket, fat side up, on onions. Top brisket with remaining onions. Pour 1/4 cup broth into pan. Bake brisket uncovered until meat and onions begin to brown, about 1 hour.
  • Add carrots, celery, garlic, thyme and bay leaf to pan around brisket. Pour remaining 2 cups broth over. Cover pan with foil. Reduce temperature to 300°F. Bake brisket until tender, about 2 1/2 hours longer. Remove from oven. Uncover pan; let brisket stand 30 minutes. Thinly slice brisket across grain. Overlap slices on platter. Surround with vegetables from pan. Spoon off fat from pan juices; season juices with salt and pepper. Serve brisket with pan juices.

This recipe was a disaster! The brisket was overcooked and the stuffing was mushy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

Not bad, but not great either. The brisket was a bit tough and the stuffing was a bit too oily. I think there are better brisket recipes out there.

Overall, I found this recipe to be just okay. The brisket was a bit dry and the stuffing was bland. I think I'll stick to my own brisket recipe.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. I'll try reducing the amount of salt next time.

I'm not usually a big fan of brisket, but this recipe changed my mind. The meat was incredibly juicy and the stuffing added a nice touch of freshness. Highly recommend!
