Oven-braised brisket is well suited to both Passover and Easter celebrations. But be warned: as it cooks, the meat fills the house with a savory aroma that will have everyone clamoring to eat well before the meal is ready.
Harissa paste, a spicy Moroccan condiment, adds a hot, bright note to the deep, rich flavor of the meat and the sweet onions.
Roast baby carrots (not to be confused with grocery store baby cut carrots, which are small pieces cut from full-sized carrots) in the oven below the meat: their sweet flavor, crunch and rainbow colors make a perfect counterpoint to the brisket.
