"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Directions:
Heat oven to 350⁰. Heat oil in large roasting pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sliced onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer the garlic mixture to a large heavy roasting pot and place meat on top, fat side up. Add carrots, parsley, tomatoes and their juice, wine and unpeeled garlic cloves. Make sure the meat is covered with the liquid. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then cover and bake in oven until the meat is tender, 3 to 6 hours (brisket is done when tender). Add prunes the last 30 minutes of baking. Transfer beef to a cutting board and slice across the grain. Return to the pot, squeeze the garlic from the cloves into the sauce, and keep warm until serving. Makes 8 to 10 servings.

Personal Notes:
Tzimmes is any kind of sweet stew. It usually is orange/red in color and includes carrots, sweet potatoes and/or prunes. This originated in Eastern Europe and was cooked by my grandparents from Russia.
