old school cornedbeef and cabbage

[dono]

well folks I'm doing and an old school st-patrick's day style cornedbeef and cabbage for superbowl sunday, I'm going to boil it this afternoon

I got my cornedbeef already in it's brine and spices at a favorite deli of mine here in montreal, it's 12 lbs , and sells for 3.50 a lb asis in the bag ready to cook

 

[dono]

there it is , it's on the cook

Interesting brine... reddish? Paprika? Never seen a red brine for CB. I love the cabbage/potato/carrot boiled dinner!

 

[dono]

I think the red color is from the blood in the meat mixing with the brine over time, I have no idea what the spices are in there but it sure is good

 

[richtee]

A basic pickling spice is what we get 'round here Don. Yummm..it's been too long since I did a corned beef dinner!

 

[dono]

it's a true cumfort food for me I love it, cornedbeef in Kimel bread sandwitches the next day is above and beyond :-))))))

DonO, that meal looks really good! I've not tried a corned beef and cabbage dinner. Are you boiling the meat in plain water or have you added spices?

Details, if you've got the time!

 

[dono]

all I do is open the bag and dump the brisket with the brine and spices into the pot, fill it with water and bring it to a boil, turn it down to simmer and let it simmer all day, add water as needed, when the brisket starts to come apart when you lift it with a carving fork, it's time to take it out.
put the brisket on a pan cover it with foil and keep it warm in the oven, then add your potatoes and carrots to the same water/brine and spice that you cooked the brisket in cook it till the potatoes are almost done. then add a cabbage head cut into 8 , the cabbage takes no more then 20 minutes to boil

then start eatingand singing irish pub songs lol

The stores are starting to stock the corned beef heavy. I may have to do a couple in order to be ready for st patties day.
DonO you have made me hungry my friend!!!

I pour a bottle or two of beer into my boil. Not sure if it helps, but it makes me feel better. Kimel bread? Yep, gotta love boiled dinner.

 

[cowgirl]

Mmmm, sure looks good DonO.

Kimel Bread is Rye bread with these little black seeds in it, I get it at the same deli I buy my brisket of corned beef at. I love the stuff
