Time 3h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 pounds beef brisket
2 pig's feet
2 leeks, chopped
4 stalks celery, chopped
6 cloves garlic, peeled and left whole
4 carrots, chopped
4 tablespoons tomato paste
3 cups dry red wine
1/4 cup cognac
2 sprigs thyme
4 strips orange peel
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
24 small white onions
16 small white turnips
1 1/2 pounds potatoes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Using a large casserole, brown the brisket and pour away the fat. Set the brisket aside. Add the pig's feet and brown lightly with the leeks, celery, garlic and carrots. Cook for five minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add the tomato paste, wine, cognac, thyme and orange peel. Return the brisket to the casserole. Season with salt and pepper and distribute the vegetables evenly around and on top of the brisket.
  • Cover and bake for three hours, turning the brisket once, and basting it every half hour.
  • Meanwhile, boil the onions until the skins are soft. Drain, cool and peel.
  • Half an hour before the brisket is cooked, add the onions to the casserole. Meanwhile, peel the turnips and potatoes. If the potatoes are large, cut them into smaller cubes the same size as the turnips. Boil them until cooked, drain and keep warm.
  • Place the brisket on a heated serving platter and arrange the vegetables around it. Remove the meat from the pig's feet and add.

This recipe was a disaster. The meat was tough and the sauce was bland.

Overall, I thought this recipe was good, but not great. I would probably try a different recipe next time.

I found that the brisket was a bit dry. I think I will try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add more vegetables.

The cooking time was a bit long, but it was worth the wait. The meat was fall-apart tender and the sauce was perfect.

I'm not a huge fan of beef brisket, but this recipe changed my mind.

This braised beef brisket recipe was an absolute delight! The meat was so tender and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and savory. I served it with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables, and it was a hit with my family.
