- 10 shallots
- 2 carrots chopped
- Salt and pepper
- ½ teaspoon thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 8 cloves garlic

OMG that’s amazing — I am so glad it wasn’t dry!!! Thanks so so much for letting us all know.
Yup!
I ended up cooking it for 6 hours and it was delicious!
I have 2 lb brisket, do I cut the cooking time in half? Thank you!
It should work well with a roast. I would use a not too expensive wine that I still like to drink, anything not too sweet.
Would this work just as well with a roast instead of a brisket? And what type of red wine would you suggest?
