Corned beef and......?

[twall]

St. Patrick's day is almost upon us (this thursday, in fact)!

Share your favorite way to make corned beef!

Here's mine:

Small head of cabbage, cut into 8ths, bout 2 cups water
corned beef, fat side up, with the spice packet rubbed on it. Then coat the top of THAT with yellow mustard & brown sugar.

Slow cook in an oval crockpot for 8 hrs on low.

Serve with a nice irish stout. :thumbsup:

Now I'm hungry again!!!:laughing:

Fat side down, braise the corned beef then turn, cover with water and simmer for 30 minutes. Add 2 small onions and 2 cloves garlic, simmer for 30 mintues add cabbage and potatoes cover and turn heat to low for 1 hour. Add salt and fresh ground black pepper.
I perfer a german double bock, "Spaten Optimator". Truly a fine beer. You will pour you Guiness in the cats bowl after tasting it:licking:
Hey! what does this have to do with lawnmowers?

.....Hey! what does this have to do with lawnmowers?

Nothing. That's why it's posted in 'the front porch', and not 'general mower discussion' :biggrin:

I have a thread, there, too.....and it DOES concern mowers........

I don't eat much corned beef but when we do it is done up with a ton of veggies and stuff, all types, potatoes, carrots, cabbage and turnip. Yum, this is starting to sound good!

Y'all making me hungry now stop it.:laughing:
Some good corned beef and some taters and onions with little green peas mixed in is pretty tasty.

Does any know how the term "corned beef" came into use?

Back in the days before we had refrigerators and freezers, butchers would pack beef and pork in salt for preservation. At one time "corn" referred to the corns of coarse salt granules packed around the meat.

Does anyone care?

That's what I do with the leftovers! (If there are any....last few years I've had to buy corned beef from the deli afterward.....to go with the cabbage......always run out of beef before I run out of cabbage.....)

Goodness, I haven't had corned beef in years, not since my gran was alive. She used to make it quite a bit for Sunday dinner.
