The Monsoons have come. We don’t get them real bad but you do know they’re here. Its pissing rain & chilly. Perfect weather for this. Must be as many Corned Beef & Cabbage recipes out there as there are folks making it. Read more Every last one of them is the best Corned Beef & Cabbage around. Don’t doubt for a minute. That is what makes a horserace. This is one of those times when KISS is the answer. Odd to hear that coming from me, talkin about recipes. Corned Beef & Cabbage is just one of those dishes. You will be able to buy a decent Corned Beef Brisket. Ain’t so here. The local corned beef is fatty & the Samoans like it that way. I get the butcher to cut me a decent brisket, or two, and corn my own, now and then. That is good corned beef. This recipe works either way. If you bought some corned beef from the store & it’s a bit fatty, trim it good (you knew that). This recipe feeds four. Every Monday my daughter & her guy come for dinner & this is an oft requested dish. I have changed my format a tad. Under Directions I have a prep section. No self respecting cook preps food while cooking it. You prep and then you cook. By the by; St. Patrick & Corned Beef & Cabbage were/are English. That’s okay; the Irish just needed another reason to celebrate. See less
