Sweet Cabbage Brisket with Thyme Roasted Potatoes
One of my most beloved Passover recipes is the Un-Stuffed Cabbage Soup from my first book, Quick & Kosher Recipes From The Bride Who Knew Nothing (that’s me!). This is an entrée inspired by the family, friend, and neighborhood favorite.

This brisket sounds amazing! I love a saucy brisket. Thanks for sharing thi recipe!
Mmmm, sweet and sour. Love pot roast with this kind of sauce.

Time to start thinking Pesach?! This does look delicious- can I make it all year round too?!
I am sorry to say this recipe is not good. The sauce is okay, if bland. I recommend adding a smokey sweet paprika and, at the last minute, raisins, which bring home the stuffed cabbage theme. But without browning the meat first it just did not cook well. The first night the meat was tough and unpleasant. With the leftovers, I cooked the sliced meat in the sauce in a relatively low oven for an hour, and the meat was no more tender than the first night. Also, what’s with the onion powder? Go the extra mile and chop an onion.
