Fresh flavors, local ingredients, and a few new techniques to make your Easter or Passover table something special.

This recipe enhances this classic with a vibrant herbal spice rub, infusing the meat with fresh, green flavors that result in a succulent and flavorful dish. Complement this main course with traditional seasonal sides such as roasted vegetables, smooth potato purée, and a generous salad.
Brisket Bourguignon
This comforting dish combines tender beef brisket with rich flavors of bacon, mushrooms, and pearl onions, slow-cooked to perfection in a Dutch oven. Infused with the robust essence of dry red wine and fragrant herbs, it’s the perfect meal for festive gatherings or cozy family dinners. Prepare ahead for even more flavorful results.
