Corned beef and cabbage cooking now.

OMG this is one of my favorite meals. At the cost of corned beef however, I usually only cook it for St. Paddys Day. Enjoy!!

I was at the store this morning and came so close to picking it up to make tonight. Now I wish I had. Enjoy!

Corned Beef and Cabbage Dinner

Horseradish-crusted corned beef pairs with tender cabbage and herbed potatoes for the ideal St. Patrick's Day feast.

1 (4-pound) cured corned beef brisket, trimmed

15 cups water (Plus 1 bottle Guinness Stout Irish beer) or if no beer then 16 cups water

2 cups chopped onion

1 cup chopped celery

1 cup chopped carrot

1 1/2 teaspoons pickling spice

3 garlic cloves, peeled

Cooking spray

1 tablespoon caraway seeds

1 (2 1/2-pound) head green cabbage, cored and cut into 1-inch strips

4 pounds small red potatoes, quartered

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

2 teaspoons butter

2 teaspoons grated lemon rind

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs

1 (5-ounce) jar prepared horseradish, drained and squeezed dry

3 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Preparation of Brisket:

Place brisket in a large stockpot; add water and next 5 ingredients (water through garlic). Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 3 hours. Remove brisket from pot.

Place brisket on the rack of a broiler pan or roasting pan coated with cooking spray; place rack in pan. Strain cooking liquid through a colander into 2 large bowls; discard solids. Return liquid to pot. Add caraway seeds and cabbage; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 20 minutes. Drain.

While cabbage is cooking, place potatoes in a large Dutch oven. Cover with water. Bring to a boil; cook 20 minutes or until tender. Drain. Return potatoes to pan. Stir in parsley, butter, rind, juice, and pepper; toss to coat.

Preheat broiler for horseradish mixture:

Combine breadcrumbs and horseradish. Spread mustard over one side of brisket. Press breadcrumb mixture onto mustard. Broil 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve brisket with cabbage and potatoes.

(I will omit this horseradish mixture above, and just prepare a creamy horseradish sauce we prefer, which I posted below).

Sour Cream Horseradish Sauce Recipe:

Makes 2 1/2 cups

Ingredients:

1/4 to 1/2 cup prepared horseradish (according to your taste)
1 pint (2 cups) sour cream
2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt

Preparation:

In a medium-sized bowl, combine horseradish, sour cream, lemon juice, and salt; thoroughly mix. Refrigerate until ready to serve and can prepare and keep in fridge up to two and one half days.

To serve, pass the horseradish sauce on the side.

The house smells divine now....will update after dinner.

it's one of my favorites, too. I love to eat it on St. Patrick's Day, but I will eat it at any other time, too.

Enjoy your corned beef and cabbage today, Adore.

I love it as well. I try and stock up after St. Patricks Day when it goes on sale so we can enjoy it more often. I smoke mine out on the grill and use chicken broth and the liquid out of the bag for the cabbage.
