This is how Julian likes his served.
I’ve always loved holidays, whether it be Christmas, Easter, etc.. A few weeks ago I learned that I have a lot of Irish in me. I became so excited that I started studying the Irish culture, also being engaged to someone who is Irish helps a lot. He told me that his favorite recipes to make on St. Patrick’s Day is Corn beef with cabbage, black eyed peas, and devils food cake. He has never cooked it before so I decided to surprise him. I couldn’t make it on St. Patrick’s Day because of work, so I waited and cooked it the day after. Here is my recipe for corn beef and cabbage.
Corn Beef and Cabbage
Ingredients:
Scissors
Knife
Large pan
Lid for the pan
Water
1 nice size Corn Beef from your local grocery store
1 head of fresh cabbage either from your garden or local grocery store
Recipe:
Cut the corn beef out of the package, get the seasoning packet that comes with it and place it on the side. Put the corn beef in the pan and fill it with water, until it covers it completely. Place the pan on the stove and cook it on high until it reaches a boil. When it reaches a boil empty the seasoning packet in with the corn beef, then turn your oven on low and place lid on pan to let it simmer. Let the meat cook for 2 hours and 30 minutes. After It has cooked for that long check to make sure it is completely cooked through and not rubbery. After your meat is done, cut up the cabbage then place it in the pan. Let it cook for an extra 30 minutes.
It can be served multiple ways, my personal favorite is to get two slices of potato bread, chopped onion, shredded cheese, and some thousand island and make a sandwich out of it.
This is how I eat mine.
I would post the recipe for the black eyes peas but mine didn’t turn out right. I didn’t cook mine long enough, so they were still really hard. Sorry!!!
When I was making the devils food cake I decided to make mine with Guinness. I will put on here how to make it with and without the alcohol. Here is my recipe for devils food cake.
