Ingredients

1 cup vegetable oil
1 brisket (about 4 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 medium Spanish onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon paprika
6 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons honey
6 small red bliss potatoes (2 pounds), quartered
3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch-thick slices
1 cup dried Jacob's cattle beans or cranberry beans (about 7 ounces), soaked in water 1 hour, drained
1 cup dried green lentils (about 7 ounces), soaked in water 1 hour, drained
1 cup barley
1 pound beef marrowbones, cut by butcher into 1-inch pieces

Steps:

Preheat oven to 225 degrees. In a Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid, over high heat, heat 1/2 cup oil. Season the brisket with salt and pepper. Brown the brisket in the oil on both sides, then transfer to a platter.
Drain the oil from the Dutch oven. Add the remaining 1/2 cup oil and reduce the heat to medium. Add the onions and paprika and cook, stirring, until the onions are brown and soft, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the honey. Remove the Dutch oven from the heat.
Place the brisket on the onion-garlic mixture. Surround the brisket with the potatoes, carrots, beans, lentils and barley and place the marrowbones on top. Cover with cold water by 4 inches. Stir in 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Return the Dutch oven to the heat and bring to a boil. Skim off any scum that forms on the surface of the liquid. Cover and place it in the oven. Bake for 8 hours or overnight.
Remove the brisket from the oven. If it seems dry, moisten it with a little water. When ready to serve, reheat, covered, in a 350-degree oven until it is hot. Transfer to a large platter and serve.
