Anyways, so last night I made this Irish dish for my husband and I. It took too long to cook so my child just ate a grilled cheese sandwich and some cereal bars for dinner. Seeing as how he is not yet one, I think that that could slide for this once.
This is a very simple recipe, but it takes a long time to cook.
You'll need:
3 pds Corned Beef Brisket with seasoning packet
1 head of cabbage
5 small red potatoes or 5 regular potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters
5 stalks of carrots
1. Put corned beef in a pot and fill with water, add seasoning packet. Bring it up to boil. Once the water is boiled, let corned beef simmer. (Let it simmer for every pound, 50 minutes.)
2. Chop the cabbage head up. Chop the carrots. Chop the small red potatoes into quarters. If using regular potatoes, peel and then cut into quarters.
3. Once corned beef has simmered for the allotted time, add cabbage, potatoes, and carrots. Let the vegetables simmer for about 25 minutes. It took longer for the vegetables to soften for me. Once the vegetables have softened, let cool. Take the corned beef out of the pot and cut into pieces or slice it with the grain. It really depends on if you want to serve as a soup or not.
Enjoy!
