Portabella Brisket

chia's Note:

This is wonderful for the holidays! I got a similar recipe from Gourmet magazine several years ago. It tastes even better the next day. If making this for passover, you may substitute potato starch for the flour, or just leave it out entirely.

Oh the aroma the house had while this was baking - YUM! Dh couldn't wait to eat this dish and the taste was just as wonderful as the smell. Very easy to prepare and make. I suggest shoving the mushrooms down in the liquid so they cook a bit more. I cut my slices pretty thick so those not in the liquid weren't quite as cooked as I would have liked. It's a keeper - thanks Chia!

We found this recipe to be tasteless.

This is one of the best briskets I ever had. Everyone just loves it. Make it exactly as written and it's true, it does taste better the next day. Thanks Chia, for another winner!
