Zach's Mom's Hanukkah Brisket

Recipe by Marilyn Bell

Zach Bell is our warehouse manager at RGFB and he wanted to share his favorite brisket recipe from growing up. This is a traditional dish they make for many holidays, and his mom Marilyn was so kind to share it with us! Enjoy...

First of all, this is not just for Hanukkah. This recipe can be made year round, whether it’s for a family occasion or needing a warm meal to make you feel cozy and home. The best part about this recipe... the tastiest leftovers! Any time my wife or I make it it brings me back to my childhood.

The brisket tenderizes more and more as it sits and the veggies soak up all the flavors that come off of the brisket and the herbs used. You could eat it with egg noodles, or just the brisket and veggies and you could use the leftovers for sandwiches. We make this a couple of times a year especially during the holidays like Passover and Hanukkah.

You don’t need an excuse to make it, just the people you want to share with it.
