Gluten Free Brisket Recipe. Whether it’s Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Passover, Hanukkah or any Jewish or Non-Jewish holiday, meat eaters love brisket. We love cooking it because not only is it delicious and can feed a crowd, there are so many wonderful leftover dishes the entire family will enjoy! That is of course IF you have leftovers. You can prepare brisket a day ahead, that is how we were taught, however if you want to braise the brisket the same day, simply start earlier in the morning. The biggest reason to cook it the day ahead is so you can separate the fat off from the stock. It takes about 5-6 hours of braising on low heat to allow the brisket to cook down so it becomes this deliciously tender meat that melts in your mouth. This recipe can feed up to 10 with leftovers. But remember brisket has a lot of fat which adds to it’s GREAT flavor. Brisket also shrinks quit a bit, so if you do wish to have leftovers for BBQ brisket sandwiches or tacos, or whatever you dream up, you definitely want to add a pound or 2 more. In our video we used 2 1/2-3 lbs of meat that served 4 nicely with left overs. We like to serve it with green beans and a salad or cole slaw.
