The Citarella Story
Celebrating one hundred years of culinary history! Established in New York City in 1912, Citarella continues to be a family run
business. Led by the driving passion and vision of our owner Joe Gurrera, we have grown from a venerable seafood shop into one of
the top food destinations in Manhattan and the Hamptons. Our selection includes the highest quality prime meats--all hand picked
and dry aged, fresh produce, chef prepared foods and pastries, artisan cheeses, cured meats, smoked fish and an exceptional
collection of our own Citarella brand olive oils, vinegars, pastas, sauces and chocolates... And we continue to stay true to our roots
with the most incredible variety of the freshest seafood. Visit us at one of our 5 locations or shop at www.Citarella.com.

The Citarella Family
Over 25 years ago, Citarella purchased a wholesale fish company - Lockwood & Winant, to eliminate the middleman & offer the freshest fish
available at the fairest price. In 2007, we opened Meat without Feet which is a seafood supplier to leading restaurants. Between the two
wholesale fish businesses, we are one of the biggest players at the Fulton Fish Market in Hunts Point. In the fall of 2008, we opened our FULTON
Restaurant on the Upper East Side celebrating the legendary Fulton Fish Market. Executive Chef Jeremy Culver's tempting mix of new, innovative
dishes and updated classics has made FULTON the destination for market-fresh seafood lovers.

Brisket Recipe
Starting with our PRIME first-cut brisket, our classic recipe is a customer favorite for its unbelievable flavor, juiciness, and tenderness. Our simple
preparation makes it perfect for the holidays. Improving with age, the brisket can even be made in advance. Enjoy.
Ingredients
3 Tablespoons Citarella Extra Virgin Olive Oil; 2 Large Onions, sliced thin; 3-3 ½ pounds of Citarella PRIME First-Cut Brisket; 3 Peeled Carrots, cut into ½
inch chunks; 2 28 oz Cans of Citarella Whole Peeled Tomatoes; hand crushed; 1 Tablespoon Sugar; 1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt; ½ Teaspoon Pepper;
1 Bay Leaf
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large ovenproof pan. Sauté onions until light brown and remove from pan and set
aside. Salt and Pepper both sides of the brisket. Add remaining olive oil and heat. Once hot, brown the brisket on both sides. Add sautéed onions
and remaining ingredients. Cover and bring to a simmer. Place in the preheated 350 degree oven for about 2 ½ hours until tender.
Remove the brisket from the pan and let rest for 15 minutes. Discard Bay Leaf. Slice brisket against the grain and serve with pan juices and
vegetables, straining fat, if necessary. To reheat, remove from refrigerator several hours before you plan to serve it. Skim off any fat from the surface
and reheat gently on top of the stove until heated through - about 15 to 20 minutes. Makes about 6 servings.
