Yesterday's dinner - St. Pattie's Day - "Corned Beef & Cabbage". I was able to buy a small Corned Beef in my food store for a good deal! The dinner above was tasty as can be . . .

I added 1/3c more of Pickling spices to the water in my 8L pressure cooker, not electric! Started cooking on high then lowering the temp low, total cooking time about two hours in my pressure cooker! Meat did not shrink that munch!

After cooling down, I removed the meat and placed it in a dish on the side. The water was very flavorful from the added pickling spices. The veggies were then added to the water except the cabbage. Two very large carrots, two medium potatoes, three celery stocks, chopped about two inches then added to the pot.

Once the water started to boil, I covered the pot and cooked for ten minutes. Next I cut the cabbage in half then in half again. After ten minutes I released the pressure and the cover and placed the cabbage on top of the veggies and cooked for fifteen more minutes . . . DONE ! Very, very, tasty! CIAO, AP

Both my parents are immigrants.My father came from Ireland and he always used to laugh at the St Paddy's Day meal in the US. This is a US version of what the Irish ate on a religious day in the 1930's Ireland.

Looks yummy. Most supermarkets sell corned beef at lower prices during St. Patrick's Day. One of my favorite sandwiches, at my local delicatessen, is corned beef on rye, or sourdough bread. With a quarter slice of a dill pickle.

So true. My paternal grandparents were Irish immigrants and my Dad often told me that the day was celebrated much differently in his house growing up.

The real Irish version is bacon and cabbage. Its a thick lean cut like a brined ham ringed in fat. Its more of an everyday meal not especially St Patrick's Day. I spent 30 year in Ireland and never saw corned beef brisket. I asked the local butcher for corned beef brisket and had to describe it to him. He came out from behind the counter to tell me he knew what I was looking for and to reminisce about his time in New York. 'Ah, you'll never get that here' he said.
They don't know what they are missing. It really need to be served with parsley sauce.

WOW AP. Looks delicious. Thanks for the recipe. First time ever I cooked the corned beef in the oven.
Opened package, saved the juice, placed beef into a baking pan. Put in about 1 inch of water. Poured a
small amount of meat juice in and added pickling spice over the beef. Covered with foil and placed into 350* oven for 2 hours 50 minutes. With 10 minutes left, removed the foil and cooked at 375* for the 10 minutes.
Removed from oven and let stand for 25 minutes during which time I used the cooking liquid, remaining
meat juice and a little water and the spice package that came with the beef. Cooked carrots, potato, onion until almost tender then added cabbage. Cooked until tender. Served up an awesome corned beef meal. So this was a first for me in the oven, usually cook on stove. Yours sure looked great. I still haven't gotten into pressure cooker cooking. Recently got into cast iron skillet stuff.

Welcome, shadows creation! Hear in Boston, MA - St. Patrick's Holiday is celebrated BIG time. This year St. Patrick's Day Parade was canceled. Sad indeed! No heavy laughter, no green beer, no fun and happiness!

But! I made corned beef & cabbage American style, so the whole day was not wasted! The taste was very pleasing . . . AP
