I made this recipe from the Kosher by Design cookbook for my Seder this year. Everyone loved this brisket! It was so easy to make. I seasoned my brisket with salt and pepper before adding the other ingredients. I used a mixture of whole tomatoes and diced tomatoes. When I served the brisket, I threw away half of the sauerkraut. I think you need to use all of the sauerkraut in cooking though to achieve the proper taste. -
EXCELLENT, can use half the quantity of saurkruat thogh. -
This was an excellent recipe. Has all the winning items, just a few ingredients, a bit different, easy, and a family pleaser! I didn't have 3 hours so I braised the meat and put it all in my pressure cooker. I cooked it for one hour and it was perfect. Thanks for sharing. -
Thank you so so much Oolala. I love my sauerkraut sweet instead of sour, and this recipe is wonderful. Sweetness goes into the meat and gives the dish an overall glazed-sweet quality..Loved it.....

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
