Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 325.

  3. In a large roasting pan with a tight-fitting lid or a dutch oven, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the brisket and brown well on all sides.
  5. Transfer to a plate.
  6. Add the onion and carrot to the pan and saute until golden, about 6 minutes.
  7. Add the garlic and saute about 2 minutes more.
  8. Add the tomatoes and juices, 1 cup of the wine and the bay leaf, mix well and bring to a boil.
  9. Return brisket to the pan, cover and place in the oven.
  10. Cook, basting occasionally, for about 3 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.
  11. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the juices.
  12. Transfer the brisket to a deep platter and cover with aluminum foil.
  13. Refrigerate until cold, up to overnight.
  14. Let the pan juices cool, then pass through a sieve or food mill into a bowl.

  16. Just before serving, preheat the oven to 350.
  17. Slice the brisket thinly and arrange on an oven-proof serving platter.

  20. Saute, stirring often, until golden brown and sweet.
  21. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  22. While onions are sauteing, pour the remaining cup of wine into a saucepan over high heat.
  23. Add 1/4 cup of the dried cherries and bring to a boil.
