Corned Beef, Cabbage and Potatoes

410.  On St. Patrick's Day we, like most Americans, love to have the traditional Corned Beef, Cabbage and Potatoes.  In Ireland, this meal is not a tradition but was created by American chefs to celebrate this day.  That is the nuance with traditions, they don't have to be declared by anyone, only your family and what you decide to eat or celebrate on a particular day.

My recipe included a corned beef in package, whole head of green cabbage, 10 whole carrots peeled and chopped, onion quartered and about 10 small potatoes with skin on.

I always follow the package directions for the corned beef, because it is full proof.  Once the meat is tender, I add the vegetables.  Salt and pepper are neither here nor there based on your choice.  

Irish Butter and soda bread on the side is enjoyed as well.

Create traditions in your home and family by making any day a "Special Day".  It doesn't have to be a birthday or national holiday.
