A Sprightly Brisket for Your Passover Table

Braised with tangy citrus and garlic, and topped with a mix of spring lettuces and herbs, this is no stodgy Passover main.

'Braised brisket is warming, cozy, rich and hearty, a perfect wintry meal to serve when temperatures plunge and snow piles up.

But what about in the spring, during Passover? No matter how pink the tulips or yellow the forsythia, when Seder-celebrating cooks plan their menu, a stodgy brown brisket is almost always on it. It’s as traditional to the meal as gefilte fish and matzo ball soup, a gravy-covered centerpiece year after year.

It doesn’t have to be that way; there are plenty of other entrees that will bolster you through those four glasses of wine. But even if a platter of tender brisket is as central to your family’s holiday happiness as matzo toffee, you can still try something new.

This year, with Passover falling so late in April, I’m offering a brisket recipe that’s brighter and fresher than anything your grandmother may have done with her carrots and onion soup mix, but just as satisfying.'
