This recipe comes with all the fixin’s – cabbage, carrots and potatoes. Low and slow is the way to go when it comes to corned beef, so allow plenty of time for everything to come together.
Enjoy the bounty with Irish soda bread the first go-round and then all of those goodies make a perfect filling for Irish Empanadas the next meal. Around St. Paddy’s Day, BriarPatch’s Meat and Seafood Department has “plug and play” corned beef options, either pre-rubbed or including a spice packet, that are perfect for this recipe.
