In this case, Brisket Braised with Thirty-Six Cloves of Garlic...





The trick is to not cut the garlc cloves, so they're very mild when you saute them and then sort of infuse the brisket as you cook it. I did add extra vinegar (used cider vinegar, as usual) to help with the tenderizing, as well.

brisket

I recognize that plate. It has been around for a long time. I think I was given it by my mom, who got it from a neighbor. That sounds like a good recipe. Did you use a 5 pound piece of meat or something smaller? Did you make garlic mashed potatoes to go with it?

I didn't know that about the plate. I wonder how old they are.

I used a 2.25 lb brisket, and the mashed potatoes are plain, except for some Fox Point seasoning from Penzey Spices.
