Instructions
  1. In a bowl, stir tomatoes with stock, wine and ketchup. Set aside.
  2. Toss onion, garlic, thyme and bay leaf in a small roasting pan or oven-proof dish (such as a Dutch oven) just large enough to hold meat and about 5 cups liquid. Place brisket in pan and sprinkle with salt.
  3. Pour tomato mixture over and around meat. Cover pan tightly with foil or a lid to prevent steam from escaping. Steam keeps the meat moist and helps to tenderize it.
  4. Cook in a preheated 350°F oven for 1 1/2 hours, occasionally turning meat. Then add carrots. Reseal and place back in the oven until yummy and fork-tender, 1 1/2 to 2 more hours. Enjoy the aromas!
  5. Slice brisket across the grain; this will make it tender and palatable. Serve this best brisket with potato latkes and braised carrots.
