Corned beef, cabbage, and other veggies--so good, not just on St. Patrick's Day. Really easy to do, the chopping is the most work, and while the corned beef simmers, you have plenty of time to take care of that. Adapted from It's All American Food, by David Rosengarten.

Steps:
- Place corned beef in a large pot, cover with cold water.
- Bring to a simmer, simmer for 5 minutes, then remove and rinse meat, empty the water out of the pan.
- Place meat back in the pan along with the onion, garlic, the cloves, pickling spice and bay leaves.
- Cover with 12 cups cold water, or more to cover the meat.
- Bring back to a simmer, partially cover the pan, simmer for 3- 4 hours (adding more water as necessary to keep beef covered), until beef is tender, but not falling apart.
- Remove the beef from the pot, wrap in foil, and keep warm.
- Strain the cooking liquid, and add it back to the pot, discarding the onion and spices.
- Bring the liquid back to a simmer, and add the vegetables in this order-- (you should end up with all the veggies in the pot together) cabbage--give it about 4 minutes, then add turnips--give them about 5 minutes, then add carrots--give them about 3 minutes, and then add potatoes, simmering for about 10-15 more minutes.
- They should all be fork tender.
- David serves it this way--slice corned beef thinly against the grain, place in a shallow soup bowl with vegetables, and ladle about 1/2 cup stock over all, with mustard and/or horseradish on the side.
- We have it in dinner plates sliced, with our veggies on the side, and plenty of butter and salt and pepper on them.
- Also great with crusty bread, and maybe some mustard or horseradish on the side.

Steps:
- 1. Put the meat in a large crock pot on high heat for 4 hours. Add two cups of water. Put the lid on. About 15 minutes before your time is up, check the meat, put it in a large skillet and brown it a bit. Remove the liquid from the crock pot and pour it into the large kettle.
- 2. Place the meat back into the crock pot. Put the lid on it and reset the crock pot to high and 4 hours.
- 3. Prepare the carrots: peel, rinse and rustic cut (all different size pieces. Place in a huge kettle (I use my canning kettle). Cover with water and then add about three inches more. Bring to a boil.
- 4. Separate an entire stalk of celery, wash and trim, rustic cut (no two pieces are cut the same size). Put the celery in the kettle on top of the carrots.
- 5. Prepare the potatoes by washing them. Leave the jackets on and put them in the kettle on top of the celery.
- 6. Prepare the onions by peeling, and cutting in halves or quarters depending on size of onions.
- 7. Add all of the spices, sprinkling them around the top of the kettle, yet in the liquid. (If at any time you feel you need a bit more water, go ahead and add it).
- 8. Remove any loose or bad leaves from the two heads of cabbage. Cut the cabbage in half, cut 3-5 wedges from each half a head of cabbage. Place the pointed side of the wedges down into the top of the kettle. Keep cutting and adding more to the kettle even if you have to push them down deeper (the rounded side should be just above the water line).
- 9. By now the liquid in the kettle is boiling, turn down the heat and let simmer for about an hour with the lid on.
- 10. Check the briskets for tenderness. Slice them up if they are ready (they should be ready now) Turn the crock pot off, and place the meat back in it and put the lid back on (no liquid).
- 11. Check the Kettle of vegetables, if they are tender... it is done!
- 12. *** I also serve seeded rye bread that has been buttered and some horseradish. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use a large pot that can easily accommodate the corned beef, cabbage, and other vegetables.
- Rinse the corned beef under cold water before cooking to remove any excess salt.
- Add the corned beef to the pot and cover it with water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2 to 3 hours, or until the corned beef is tender.
- While the corned beef is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Cut the cabbage into wedges, peel and dice the potatoes, and chop the carrots.
- When the corned beef is tender, add the vegetables to the pot and cook for an additional 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Serve the corned beef and cabbage with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, boiled potatoes, or rye bread.
Conclusion:
Boiled dinner is a classic Irish dish that is perfect for a St. Patrick's Day celebration or any other occasion. The corned beef is tender and flavorful, and the cabbage and other vegetables are cooked to perfection. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
