I hope you don\u2019t mind if I give you a recipe for brisket in April. We eat it year-round here, and I always feel a little bad for people who save it for just special occasions, because it\u2019s a meat that gives so much back with so little effort. It\u2019s also the ultimate make-ahead dish, only improving over the course of a few days.<\/p>\n

I think people tend to overthink brisket (I know I have in the past!) but it doesn\u2019t need to be complex. The brisket I grew up eating was often simply braised with onions, tomato paste or ketchup, sometimes a little brown sugar, and not much more. It was savory, sweet, tangy, and incredibly satisfying. The meat would be so fork-tender, falling apart, with the sauce perfect for serving over egg noodles or mashed potatoes.<\/p>\n

This recipe for brisket and braised onions is based on that kind of minimalist approach. It uses ingredients you likely have in your pantry right now and not a lot of them. I think it\u2019s the simplest, most approachable way to get a perfectly tender brisket without a fuss. It\u2019s what I\u2019ll be making for Passover.<\/p>\n
