1
PREPARE THE ROAST:
-
2
Preheat oven to 325u00b0F.
-
3
On a cutting board, mash the garlic and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt together with the flat side of a knife into a paste form. Add the rosemary and continue to mash until incorporated.
-
4
Put the garlic-rosemary paste in a small bowl and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil; stir to combine.
-
5
Season both sides of the brisket with a fair amount of kosher salt and ground black pepper.
-
6
Dust brisket generously with flour. Place a large roasting pan or Dutch oven over medium-high flame and coat with the remaining olive oil. Put the brisket in the roasting pan and sear to form a nice brown crust on both sides.
-
7
Lay the vegetables all around the brisket and pour the rosemary paste over the whole thing. Add the wine and tomatoes; the parsley, thyme and bay leaves.
-
8
Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and transfer to the oven.
-
9
Bake for about 3 to 4 hours, basting every 30 minutes with the pan juices until the beef is fork tender.
-
10
Remove the brisket to a cutting board and let it rest for 15 minutes.
-
11
Strain the stock and spoon out the excess fat.
-
12
PREPARE THE MUSHROOMS:
-
13
Meanwhile, prepare the mushrooms. Heat up a large saute pan and approximately 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the chopped garlic, the mushrooms and thyme.
-
14
Cook until a nice light brown color develops then add brisket stock and continue to simmer and reduce -- mixture should be thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
-
15
When thickened, finish with the horseradish, sour cream and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
-
16
To serve, slice the brisket across the grain (the muscle lines) at a slight diagonal and top with the creamy wild mushrooms.

Also, store-bought mixed Rugelah - too many to bake here.(Guests have a habit of tucking these tasty delicious tidbits into their pockets or purses, LOL!).
