Crock pot o’ gold-Corned Beef and Cabbage Dinner
Posted on Wednesday, March 10th, 2010
St Patrick’s Day Corned Beef Special
You don’t have to be Irish to enjoy this aromatic, fork-tender, slow-cooked roast which is delightfully easy to prepare. The term “corned beef” comes from a time in the English language when grains were commonly referred to as “corns”, including grains of coarse salt, thus the name for this salt-cured beef dish. Corned beef is made by brining a beef cut, commonly brisket, in a salty solution with a combination of sweet and savory spices. The artisan-style brining process takes about three weeks. Although corned beef and cabbage is not considered to be a traditional Irish dish (rather something that was popularized after the colonization of America), it is a favorite celebration meal on St. Patrick’s Day in the U.S. Sunnyside Farms Market is featuring a house-made corned beef, which will be ready on Saturday, March 13, $7.99/#.
Super Simple Corned Beef and Cabbage Dinner
- 4# Corned Beef Brisket
- 8 small red potatoes (skin-on)
- 3 large carrots, cut into 3″ pieces (optional)
- 2 medium onions, quartered
- 2 cloves garlic, coarsely crushed
- 1 head green cabbage, cut into wedges
Place the brisket in a crock pot or heavy stovetop roasting pot, cover with water (some people like to use beer instead), and simmer on medium heat for4 to 5 hours. Add potatoes, onions, garlic, and carrots, and return to a simmer for 30 minutes (you may need to add more hot water to cover the veggies). Add cabbage wedges and return to a simmer for another 30 minutes. Enjoy!
