Getting ready for St. Patrick's day and would like to know how you prepare your ham and cabbage?

Ham? I scoop out a couple cups of the corned beef "water" and cook the cabbage in it, with additional liquid, (quartered) in a separate pot.

I have cooked ham and cabbage if that's what you are cooking. I start with chicken broth and put pickling spice seasonings in a tea ball. I cook the ham,carrots and potatoes first and then add the cabbage. If I'm doing corned beef I use the seasoning pack for that instead. I cook my corned beef on the grill.

Cabbage needs to be steamed! Do not set it in liquid and boil.

To maintain flavor, I chop it into about 1" strips. Sautée in butter with s&p and, my secret ingredient , a sprinkle of cumin......it adds wonderful flavor.

I actually prefer my cabbage fried, but I am from the south,lol....steamed is ok is seasoned up.

Cut it in to big chunks and sauté it in a little olive oil, salt, pepper.

Some people cook it in the juice with the brisket but I prefer it separate. I don't want it to be too mushy. It can be nice to drizzle a little of the juice from the brisket over the cabbage on your plate.

If you are thinking of how we cook it with corned beef, I also do the meat first (a few hours slow cooking on the stove with lots of water) then I remove it, chunk the cabbage into about 4 wedges and boil it in the juice, along with potatoes and carrots.

But if I'm just cooking it as a veggie anytime, my new favorite way I learned from these smart people here. I chunk it in wedges; lay it on heavy duty foil; salt and pepper lightly; put a small pat of butter on each wedge, add maybe a gppd 12 to 2/3 of a cup of water; close the foil up and put it on a baking sheet in the oven......3350 degrees for how long? Can't remember, but I believe about a good hour. DH just loves it this way, and I do too. No muss and no fuss. Deeelish!!

Love it on the grill. Cut in wedges, put on a sheet of aluminum foil along with some butter and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Wrap tightly, and place on grill turning often to prevent burning. Depending on grill, usually around 30 minutes. It steams and browns up nicely. Delish!!
