[Onion-Braised Beef Brisket](
It might sound counterintuitive, but extending the preparation of our braised beef brisket over two days makes this recipe doable for easy entertaining or a weeknight meal; plus, it actually improves the final dish in several ways. Letting the cooked brisket stand overnight in the refrigerator in the braising liquid allows it to reabsorb liquid and flavor. The excess fat is easy to remove, and the cold brisket can be sliced without shredding. Heat the slices in the defatted sauce in a 350 degree oven for just a 30 minutes before serving. (This recipe can also be made and enjoyed on the same day.) [Icon]

[Cast Iron Potato Kugel](
Make this easy and supersavory potato dish thatâs ultracrispy on the outside and tender and fluffy inside. Shredded russet potatoes (see our color saving tip below) bring just the right starchiness while sautéed onions and schmaltz deliver flavor in spades. Eggs bind it all together and a cast iron pan is a crisping machine. [Icon]
Member Comment
“This recipe is a keeper. I believe the difference-maker in this recipe is the schmaltz: the flavor it imparts is unlike cooking with olive oil—it almost adds a subtle sweetness. And the crispy surface area on the top and bottom make these some of the best potatoes to come out of our oven. I can't wait to have it leftover with a fried egg.”

Test Kitchen Technique
Shredding potatoes releases an enzyme that can cause them to turn a blue-gray color. A simple toss with salted water neutralizes this reaction and keeps the spuds white. [Kugel with salt-soaked potatoes](
Light and Lovely: The salt water preserves the spuds’ color. [Kugel without salt-soaked potatoes](
Gray and Ghoulish: The shreds turn gray without the salt water. [GET ALL ACCESS NOW > Save 47%. That's 76 cents a week!]( Keep the cheese, ditch the cream.
[Asparagus Gratin](
Asparagus can taste as bright and sunny as a spring afternoon. So why do so many asparagus gratin recipes bog it down with masses of cream and cheese? We opted for a lighter touch and found that cooking the two components separately and combining them at the end let the flavors shine. Our tasters chose a mix of Parmesan and milder, smoother Monterey Jack over slightly grittier Gruyère and preferred vegetable stock made with the trimmed ends of the asparagus to a sauce made with half-and-half.

Product Review
We love the nutty, crumbly, crystalline texture of Parmigiano-Reggiano, but it costs a pretty penny. This cheese has been made in precisely the same way in Northern Italy for the past 800 years. Most domestic Parmesans cost less (some dramatically less) than Parmigiano-Reggiano, but are any of them any good? The winner of our taste tests is sold by an American company that purchases the âreal dealâ and sells it under its own name. The cheese costs twice as much as our least favorite supermarket Parm, but in this case, you really get what you pay for.

Test Kitchen Technique
To highlight the flavor of delicate asparagus, we make a five-minute vegetable stock from the wood ends. The asparagus spears simmer in the stock, and we reserve the now double-concentrated liquid to use in our cheese sauce in place of the usual (smothering) heavy cream. [Asparagus trimmings](
Treasure Not Trash: The asparagus ends make a flavorful stock in which to cook the spears. [Asparagus broth](
Asparagus Stock: The stock is now double-concentrated. We use it (instead of cream) in the sauce. [Veg, cheese . . . yes, please! SAVE 47% > That's 76 cents a week!]( New Recipes & Reviews Every Month!
