Anyone making anything new for passover?

Perhaps this is a good place to ask for favorite brisket recipes

I have been doing the same one for years and would love to do something different.
Mine basically is

brown meat, paint meat with tomato paste

saute lot's of vidella onions until just starting to get golden. (I use about 3 lbs) sounds like a lot but it shrinks down.

Place brisket on cooked onions, toss in some crushed garlic cloves, a carrot. Wrap tight and slowly cook in the oven. The onions/meat create the sauce. However, when I remove the brisket I add some good brown stock and a bit of mediera or dry sherry and reduce. End result is a oniony rich gravy for the brisket.

 
Our household favorite!

1 large brisket
1 large onion
1 can of Campbells Beef Broth (Double Strength)
1 can of Heinz Chili Sauce
1 can of beer (not light)


Preheat oven to 275F.

Salt and pepper brisket. Cut up at least one large onion into thick slices. Lay on bottom of roasting pan. Place brisket on onions. Mix together the broth, chili sauce, and beer. Pour over brisket. Roast in oven (275 F) for 4 hours.

Chill overnight. Remove congealed fat from sauce. Slice. At this point the brisket and sauce can be frozen. When ready to serve, the brisket needs at least two more hours of cooking, this time at 350. It takes the brisket an hour just to heat through completely, then another hour to fully cook through which is necessary so that brisket will be tender.

 
Brisket with Portabello Mushrooms and Dried Cranberries

This one is a bit more 'upscale' and equally delicious.


BRISKET WITH PORTABELLO MUSHROOMS AND
DRIED CRANBERRIES


8 SERVINGS:
1 cup dry red wine
1 cup canned beef or chicken broth
1/2 cup frozen cranberry juice cocktail concentrate, thawed
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 large onion, sliced
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 4-pound trimmed flat-cut brisket

12 ounces medium portabello mushrooms, dark gills scraped away, caps thinly sliced
1 cup dried cranberries (about 4 ounces)


Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Whisk wine, broth, cranberry concentrate and flour to blend in medium bowl; pour into 15xlOx2-inch roasting pan. Mix in onion, garlic and rosemary. Sprinkle brisket on all sides with salt and pepper. Place brisket, fat side up, in roasting pan. Spoon some of wine mixture over. Cover pan tightly with heavy-duty foil.

Bake brisket until very tender, basting with pan juices every hour, about 3 1/2 hours. Transfer brisket to plate; cool 1 hour at room temperature. Thinly slice brisket across grain. Arrange slices in pan with sauce, overlapping slices slightly. (Brisket can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place mushrooms and cranberries in sauce around brisket. Cover pan with foil. Bake until mushrooms are tender and brisket heated through, about 30 minutes (10 more minutes if brisket has been refrigerated). Transfer sliced brisket and sauce platter and serve.
