Before you look at the cooking time and stop reading, know that less than half an hour is active. The balance of time, the brisket is just hanging out in the fridge or oven while you sip wine and read a good book… or binge watch cooking shows on Netflix.

Time: 5.25 hours (plus brining time)

Serves: 10

Ingredients:

2.5Kg brisket
30g kosher salt
2g fresh ground black pepper

1kg yellow onions – peeled and quartered
800ml can San Marzano tomatoes and juice – crushed between your fingers
500ml dry red wine
250ml beef stock or water
20g fresh rosemary sprigs
20g fresh thyme sprigs
