DIRECTIONS
1. In a large stockpot, combine water, garlic, and all herbs and spices to make brine. Cook over high heat until salt and sugar are fully dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in ice. 2. Once water temp reaches 45 F, place brisket in a 2-gallon zip-close bag, pour in brine to cover, lay flat in a large container, and store in fridge. 3. Brine for 10 days, checking daily to make sure brisket is fully submerged and brine is stirred. 4. After 10 days, remove brisket from brine and rinse under cool water. In a large pot, cover brisket, onion, carrot, and celery with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and gently simmer for 2 1/2–3 hours. 5. Remove, slice across the grain, and serve.
DO I GET TO MEET A LAWYER BEFORE I HIRE ONE?
Most personal injury firms, including our own, offer free consultations. This is so that the attorney can understand the details of your case and gauge the strength of your claim, but it also allows you to get a better sense of the lawyer you’re considering hiring. While you’re having one of these consultations, take the time to ask questions. What’s this lawyer’s preferred strategy for cases like yours? Do they prefer to go to court or to settle? Knowing the answer to these kinds of questions can help you feel confident about your choice of representation.
