Pesto Brisket in Shallot and White Wine Sauce When talking meats with my friend Chanie S., my interest was piqued as I listened to her describe her favorite veal roast. Knowing that briskets need to braise as well, I wondered if a pesto-flavored brisket would be appealing. Tried it, loved it, and decided to share it. Thank you, Chanie, for the inspiration.  SERVES

I couldn’t believe that a potluck recipe came out so delicious; my husband even voted it “Yom-Tov-worthy”! My daughter who doesn’t like the smell or taste of quinoa came back for seconds. This is one recipe that you’ve got to try.

I really had to wrack my brain to come up with a dish that would combine potatoes, deli, and lettuce well. Not only did this dish surpass my own expectations, but I was even asked to make it again the next night!

A family favorite, this is easily made in the morning if the vegetable-tomato sauce is prepared ahead.

I love this recipe because of the good cut of meat and the good-quality spices. It’s also great for Shabbos Chanukah because Fridays are so short this time of year and this roast is cooked perfectly in under an hour.
