Hockey Monkey, that sounds good. I will have to try it. I learned from my English ex to put turnips and parsnips in with the potatoes and onions. He thinks ingredients like carrots and celery are all wrong. I happen to like how the meat tastes when it is roasted with celery or celeriac, though I don’t like the roasted vegetable itself. I use fennel for a pork roast. So, oil meat, brown it, place on rack in roaster, add vegetables around it, put pepper and assorted herbs/spices on top and then lay sliced onions over that. Add a 1/2 cup red wine slowly and then cover and roast. About 1/2 hour before it is finished, add mushrooms and stir the veggies around a bit. Now I’m hungry. ---

> [@Spud](#): > > I just had to revive this to say that I tried that recipe. WOW… that was great! I made a brisket and it was amazing. The only thing is I probably should have trimmed a bit more of the fat off then I did, but other than that I wouldn’t change a thing. Yay! Isn’t it simple and great? I usually reserve my briskets for barbecuing and occasionally corning, but one day I bought a brisket flat that was on sale and I felt like doing a Jewish style brisket. I came across that recipe after finding a few of the usual Lipton onion soup ones, as well as the grape jelly ones (which I’ve had in the past), but I was in the mood for something different. I found that on Saveur’s website (one of my favorite recipe sites) and was immediately convinced to try it. And glad I did. Now brisket will have three uses in my house. ---

I’ll blame it on auto-correct… not on the computer, but in my brain. When I think of beef all my brain thinks of is consume it.
