Ingredients: 4 pounds lean raw corned beef brisket 3 tablespoons pickling spice (often included with brisket) 1 medium rutabaga, halved and cut into wedges (optional) 1 bag baby carrots 4-5 large russet potatoes, cut into 2'' chunks 1 leek, white and light-green parts only, cut into 3-inch pieces 1 head Savoy cabbage, cut into 1 ¼'' wedges Directions: Place the corned beef in the Slow Cooker and brown on all sides. Once browned, remove the Corned Beef and add the vegetables. Layer the rutabaga, carrots, potatoes and leek in the cooker. Put about 4 slices of cabbage on top of vegetables. Put the corned beef on top of them. Scatter the pickling spices on top. Cram as much cabbage in along the sides or anywhere you have room. Your pot will be over flowing, that is okay, just put the lid on and weight it down with a skillet until it cooks down a bit. Remove the weight. Shake it (the Slo Cooker Mame) and the lid will fit nicely, the weight will not be needed anymore. Cook on 1 ½ for 6-8 hours Slice the corned beef and serve with the slow-cooked vegetables and cabbage. A nice Soda Bread would also be good, too. See recipe for bread. Enjoy your guest and the party. |
