Canelons: Brisket Canelones
During their own festes majors, all towns in Catalonia feature canelons. The iconic feast dish, sheets of egg-based pasta rolled into tubes, stuffed with a variety of roasted meats, and topped with a rich, creamy sauce and grated cheese, always symbolizes opulence and festivity. Canelons take effort to make, so it helps to start them a day ahead and enlist family members to help. The twist I add is to use brisket—a choice inspired by my adopted town of Austin, Texas, and its love for the barbecued variety.Serves 6 as a main dish
