I love a good brisket. I love a good Jewish brisket, braised like pot roast, or a smoky brisket from the South.
Since I’m not from the South, and don’t have a clue how to really barbecue, nor do I like to heat up my kitchen in the middle of the summer, I thought I’d make one in a slow cooker.
I think the flavor of this recipe may come out somewhere between both a Jewish brisket and a Southern one. But I’m not quite sure. All I know is, it’s really good.
So go ahead and make it, and you be the judge.
