Directions
N. Y. C. Corned Beef and Cabbage,Thats exactly the way my family has always made a corned beef and cabbage boiled dinner, alsobut with larger potatoes cut in half or quarters. There is a reason our Irish-American forbears made corned beef and cabbage dinners, but that its not a traditional meal in IrelandOur immigrant forbears were introduced to it by NYCs Jewish immigrants. (For a super easy, but similarly tasty meal in a hurryput the cabbage, potatoes, and carrots in a large electric pressure cooker with water, some butter pats over the veggies, and a Hillshire Polska Kielbasa on top and cook on high pressure for 4-5 minutes. Natural Release for 10 min., then release remaining steam, and serve. It gives the vegetables the same flavor as a corned beef does, so its delicious too.),Excellent recipe. I still add 2 bay leaves with the spice packet. I also substitute a 16 oz Guiness Draught instead of a bottle of Harp. It turns out excellent. I just wish there were leftovers, it goes FAST, and everyone loves it. use Guniess Draught instead of Stout, or Extra Stout….but if I had used either I would use some Brown Sugar as well to 0ffset the bitterness. The Draught is perfect!
