The story behind the recipe
The smoked brisket with oven-baked potatoes has its origins in the culinary traditions of many cultures, where smoked meat was an ingenious method of preservation. Smoking adds not only a unique aroma but also an intense flavor that perfectly complements the sweetness of the potatoes. This recipe is ideal for cool days when we want to warm our soul and body with a comforting dish.

Step by step to a perfect dish

1. Preparing the brisket: Start by checking the smoked brisket. If there are any hair remnants, you can lightly burn them off over the stove flame. Then, wash the meat well under cold running water.

2. Boiling the brisket: In a large pot, add the brisket, white and black peppercorns, bay leaves, and the cleaned onion cut in half. Cover the pot with a lid and place it over medium heat. Once the water starts to boil, let the brisket simmer for 30 minutes.

3. Preparing the sauce: After boiling, take the brisket out and place it on a plate. Let it cool for 5 minutes. In a bowl, mix the mustard, teriyaki sauce, 2 tablespoons of oil, salt, pepper, and sweet paprika. This sauce will give an incredible flavor to the brisket.

4. Preparing the potatoes: Peel the potatoes, wash them well, and cut them into suitable pieces. It is important to choose potatoes that cook evenly to achieve a pleasant texture.

5. Assembling the dish: Grease a ceramic dish with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Place the potatoes in the dish, coat them with the remaining brisket sauce, and sprinkle a little salt over them. Place the brisket on top of the potatoes, and the garlic, peeled and cut in half, should be placed on both the potatoes and the brisket. Arrange the cherry tomatoes among the potatoes for a touch of freshness.

6. Baking: Cover the dish with parchment paper and then with foil (if the dish has a lid, it is best to use it). Place the dish in a preheated oven at 180°C for 1 hour and 10 minutes. After this time, check if the brisket and potatoes are well cooked. If necessary, leave it in the oven for another 20 minutes, but without the lid, to achieve a golden crust.

7. Serving: Once the dish is ready, take the dish out of the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve the smoked brisket with potatoes alongside pickles, yogurt, or a preferred sauce. This is a perfect choice for a family meal or a dinner with friends.

My personal tip: For an even more intense flavor, you can let the brisket marinate for a few hours in the mixture of teriyaki sauce and mustard before cooking it. You can also add vegetables like carrots or celery to diversify the dish.

Nutritional benefits: Smoked brisket is a good source of protein, while potatoes are rich in complex carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, providing long-lasting energy. This dish is hearty and can be part of a balanced diet.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use brisket from another type of meat? Absolutely! This recipe can be adapted to various types of meat, including beef or chicken, depending on your preferences.
- What can I do with the leftovers? The remaining brisket can be used in soups or salads, adding extra flavor.
- What drinks pair well? A dry red wine or a craft beer pairs perfectly with this dish.
