Here is a Jewish holiday classic—lightened up. The brisket is roasted on top of a bed of sliced onions, chopped garlic, baby carrots, and fresh mushrooms. Everything is then coated with a savory mixture of crushed tomatoes, paprika, lemon juice, sugar for a touch of sweetness, and red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. You can also toss some potatoes in the oven with the meat to round out your meal. Or serve with barley or rice to sop up all of the delicious gravy. For added color and depth of flavor, you can substitute a cup of frozen green bell pepper strips for half of the mushrooms. Bonus: The leftover meat makes delicious lettuce wraps or sandwiches.
