One of the best brisket recipes you are likely to try. The baharat spices and Israeli silan, wine and orange juice come together brilliantly. The low and slow cooking method makes all the difference when cooking brisket.
You can use whole brisket, first cut or second cut brisket for this recipe. First cut is leaner and second cut brisket is a bit fattier.
