I love this dinner on St. Pats day or any day. This is from my mother-in-law. I have been making this for about 26 years. I was not really fond of corned beef till this recipe, as a new cook, it was simple, easy and delicious. Ingredients:
3 -4 lbs corned beef brisket |
2 onions, sliced |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
2 bay leaves |
6 whole cloves |
6 medium potatoes, pared |
5 small carrots, pared |
1 medium head of cabbage, cut in 6 wedges |
Directions:
1. Place corned beef in Dutch oven, and barely cover with hot water; add onion, garlic, cloves,and bay leaves.
2. Cover and simmer (do not let boil)1 hour per pound of meat, or till fork tender.
3. Remove meat from liquid;add potatoes and carrots. . Cover; bring to boiling and cook 10 minutes.
4. Then add cabbage wedges; continue cooking 20 minutes longer or till vegetables are done.
5. Spice Glaze:.
6. If you like, glaze the corned beef while vegetables cook.
7. Spread fat side of meat lightly with prepared mustard.
8. Then sprinkle with mixture of 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves.
9. Place in shallow pan. Bake in moderate oven 350 degrees 15 to 20 minutes or till nicely glazed.
