Rosh Hashanah
My Grandmother's Brisket
- Serves 10-12
Author Notes
Food memories can be stronger than steel, and my revamped version of my grandmother's brisket makes me feel as though I'm at the dinner table with my entire family even if I do live a little under 1,000 miles away. The secret ingredient here is definitely the sour salt, it's a game changer that adds tremendous depth and flavor, while simultaneously allows for extra tender brisket. Enjoy! —thecrunchycarrot
