Corned Beef & Cabbage
Source: Family recipe
Ingredients
- ~20 boiling onions, peeled
- 2 lbs small red potatoes
- 1 lb carrots
- 3 lb corned beef brisket (with spice packet)
- 1–2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp molasses
- 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 lager beer
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 head cabbage, cut into wedges
Directions
- Place peeled boiling onions on the bottom of a large crock pot.
- Add potatoes and carrots on top of the onions.
- Place corned beef brisket on top.
- In a bowl, whisk together garlic, molasses, Dijon mustard, and beer. Pour over brisket.
- Add bay leaves and the brisket’s spice packet.
- Cook on low all day (8–10 hours).
- About 1 hour before serving, parboil cabbage wedges in 1–2 inches of water first, then add to the crock pot for the last hour. (Do not cook cabbage all day — it will make the dish taste like sulphur.)
