- 1 tablespoon walnut oil
- 1 (4 -4 1/2 lb) beef brisket, trimmed
- 3 large onions, about 1 pound, sliced, separated into rings
- 3 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- fresh ground pepper, to taste
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground ginger

directions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C), Gas Mark 3.
- In a heavy flameproof casserole or Dutch Oven with lid, heat oil over medium heat. Add brisket and brown on all sides. When brisket is brown, pour off all fat and pan juices.
- Scatter onion and garlic slices around the brisket. Season with cinnamon, pepper, ginger, paprika, and orange zest.
- Add tomatoes and beef broth. Bring to a simmer.
- Cover and transfer to oven. Roast until brisket is fork tender, about 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 hours.
- Turn meat and baste with pan juices 2 or 3 times during the cooking time.
- Transfer brisket to a carving board and keep warm. Skim off any fat from casserole and place over medium-high heat on top of the stove.
- Cook, uncovered, until reduced by half. Pour the sauce through a sieve, pressing the solids to extract their flavor and to thicken the sauce. Return strained sauce to casserole; discard solids. Keep sauce warm.
- Peel oranges, removing all white pith. Thinly slice the oranges and add to the warm sauce. Heat through.
- Slice the brisket across the grain into thin slices. Place on a heated serving platter and decorate with the sauce. Serve the rest of the sauce on the side if you have enough.
- Sprinkle with ground walnuts.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<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>
