  1. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook 20 to 30 minutes until caramelized, stirring often. Lower heat if necessary. Meanwhile, combine molasses, barbecue sauce, broth and mustard in small bowl. Add molasses mixture to skillet after onions are caramelized; stirring to combine.

  3. Remove brisket from roasting pan; keep warm. Trim fat; carve diagonally across the grain into thin slices. Season with salt and pepper, as desired. Serve with caramelized onions mixture. Garnish with pomegranate arils.
