St. Patrick’s Day!

St. Patrick’s Day!

Everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s day! Some favorite ways to celebrate are wearing green, sharing shamrocks, eating corned Beef and Cabbage, and drinking green beer.   If St. Patricks Day is an excuse to eat Corned Beef and Cabbage then here a recipe from Irish Traditional Cooking by Darina Allen.

4 lb corned brisket of beef

3 large carrots, cut into large chunks

6 to 8 small onions

1 teaspoon dry English mustard

Large sprig fresh thyme and some parsley stalks, tied together

1 cabbage

Salt and freshly ground pepper
Put the brisket into a saucepan with the carrots, onions, mustard and the herbs. Cover with cold water, and bring gently to a boil. Simmer, covered, for 2 hours. Discard the outer leaves of the cabbage, cut in quarters and add to the pot. Cook for a further 1 to 2 hours or until the meat and vegetables are soft and tender.

Serve the corned beef in slices, surrounded by the vegetables and cooking liquid. Serve with lots of floury potatoes and mustard.
