Corned Beef and Cabbage Slow Cooker Recipe
PREP TIME10 minutes
COOK TIME8 hours
TOTAL TIME8 hours 10 minutes
SERVINGS6 servings
AUTHORHolly Nilsson
This Slow Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage recipe packs all of the deliciousness of corned beef into a meal that cooks itself. Talk about a stroke of good fortune on St. Patrick’s Day or any day of the year!
Ingredients
1 corned beef brisket 3-4 pounds
1 onion
3 cloves garlic
2 bay leaves
2 ½ - 3 cups water
2 pounds potatoes peeled & quartered
2 large carrots chopped
1 small head of cabbage cut into wedges
Instructions
Chop onion into large chunks and place in the bottom of a 6 qt slow cooker. Top with corned beef and seasoning packet.
Pour water into slow cooker until it just about covers the corned beef. Add garlic and bay leaves.
Cook on low 8-10 hours.
After the initial 3 hours, add potatoes and carrots to the slow cooker.
Two hours before serving, add cabbage wedges to the slow cooker.
Remove corned beef from slow cooker and let rest 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with potatoes, carrots and cabbage.
Notes
Once cooked your corned beef should be tender (mine usually cooks closer to the 10 hour time). Appliances can vary, if your corned beef is not tender, it likely needs to cook longer.
It is essential to cut your corned beef across the grain.
Mashed Carrots and Turnips
YIELD: SERVES 6
These mashed carrots and turnips make a great side dish for your Thanksgiving dinner! The perfect low carb alternative to mashed potatoes!
PREP TIME15 minutes
COOK TIME45 minutes
TOTAL TIME1 hour
Ingredients
2 pounds Carrots, Peeled and sliced, about 4 1/2 cups
1 pound Turnips (Or rutabagas) peeled and cubed, about 3 cups
1/4 cup Brown Sugar
2 tablespoons Butter
1/2 teaspoon Salt
Ground Black Pepper, To taste
Instructions
For the Instant Pot:
Place the carrots and turnips in the insert of your Instant Pot and add 1 cup of water.
Put the lid on and turn it to the locking position. Make sure the vent is in the sealing position. Cook at high pressure for 5 minutes. The Instant Pot will take about 10 minutes to come to pressure and then will start counting down the cook time.
When the pressure cooking time is complete, quick release the pressure.
Drain the vegetables thoroughly. If you want the final mixture to be a bit thicker, mash them a little bit and then let them sit in a fine mesh strainer for about 5 minutes to drain some of the excess liquid.

COOK TIME25 mins
TOTAL TIME35 mins
SERVINGS4 servings
Ingredients
4 russet potatoes (2 to 2 1/2 pounds), peeled and cut into large chunks
Salt
5 to 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for serving
3 lightly packed cups chopped kale, cabbage, chard, or other leafy green
3 green onions, minced (about 1/2 cup)
1 cup milk or cream
Method
Boil the potatoes:
Put the potatoes in a medium pot and cover with cold water by at least an inch. Add 2 tablespoons of salt, and bring to a boil.
Boil until the potatoes are fork tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain in a colander.
Cook the greens and the green onions with butter:
Return the pot to the stove and set over medium-high heat. Melt the butter in the pot and once it's hot, add the greens.
Cook the greens for 3-4 minutes, or until they are wilted and have given off some of their water.
Add the green onions and cook 1 minute more.
Mash the potatoes with milk or cream and greens:
Pour in the milk or cream, mix well, and add the potatoes. Reduce the heat to medium.
Use a fork or potato masher and mash the potatoes, mixing them up with the greens.
Add salt to taste and serve hot, with a knob of butter in the center.
Irish Guinness Brown Bread
Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr 30 min (includes cooling time)
Active: 15 min
Yield: 1 loaf
Ingredients
1 cup quick-cooking oats (not instant), such as McCann's, plus extra for sprinkling
2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour, such as Heckers
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, lightly packed
2 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 (11- to 12-ounce) bottle Guinness extra stout beer, at room temperature
1 cup buttermilk, shaken
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for brushing the pan
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Salted butter, such as Irish Kerrygold
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the beer, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well. With your fingers, stir the batter from the middle of the bowl to the outside, until it's well mixed. It will look more like cake batter than bread dough.
Brush a 9 x 5 x 2 1/2-inch loaf pan with melted butter. Pour the batter into the pan and sprinkle the top with oats. Put the bread in the oven, immediately turn the temperature down to 400 degrees, and bake for 45 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Turn the bread out onto a baking rack and allow to cool completely. Slice and serve with salted butter.

IRISH APPLE CAKE WITH CUSTARD SAUCE
Serves: Serves 12
INGREDIENTS
FOR THE CAKE:
3 C. Flour
2 t. Baking Powder
â…› t. Salt
¼ t. Cloves, ground
¼ t. Nutmeg, ground
6 oz. Butter, (cold is fine)
¾ C. Sugar
4 large Granny Smith apples(I used golden delicious to great effect)
2 Eggs
¾ C. Milk
2 T. Sugar(for sprinkling on top of cake)
FOR THE CUSTARD:
6 large Egg Yolks
6 T. Sugar
1½ C. Whole Milk
1½ t. Vanilla
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE CAKE:
Grease and flour an 8" or 9" round springform pan. Using an 8" pan will give you a taller cake.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, cloves and nutmeg into a large mixing bowl. Make sure the bowl is very large to allow room for the apples to be folded in.
Cut the butter into the flour using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
Add the ¾ C. sugar to the flour mixture and mix in.
Peel the apples and slice them into uniform pieces. This cake works best and gets that 'chunky apple look' if the slices are about ¼" wide and then cut into 3 pieces.
Toss the apples into the flour mixture and combine them thoroughly.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and milk together. Add to the apples and flour and mix in with a large spatula until just combined. Batter will be thick and dough-like.
Transfer the dough into the prepared cake pan and flatten the top surface using the back of your spatula.
Sprinkle the sugar over the top of the cake.
Bake for 45-50 minutes. Test the center for doneness. The top of the cake should be golden brown. Serve slices with custard sauce.
FOR THE CUSTARD SAUCE:
*note that this sauce is not a thick, pudding like sauce. It should have a pour-able, just thickened consistency when done.
Place the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl and whisk until pale yellow, 2-3 minutes. Place the milk in a medium saucepan and bring just to a boil. Slowly whisk the hot milk into the egg/sugar mixture. Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan and stir over medium heat until custard thickens, about 4 minutes. Custard should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Mix in the vanilla. Transfer to bowl or serving saucer.
Serve warm or cold over apple cake.

Strawberry and Orange Salad with Citrus Syrup and Fresh Mint
By Jennifer Segal, inspired by Maria Hines Sinskey in Bon Appétit
This gorgeous strawberry and orange fruit salad is a refreshing change from the typical pre-cut fruit salad.
Servings: 4
Total Time: 15 Minutes
INGREDIENTS
1 pound strawberries, hulled and halved (or quartered if very large)
3 oranges
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste
2½ tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint, plus a sprig for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
Place the strawberries into a serving bowl.
Cut a slice off the top and bottom of each orange so they sit flat on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, work your way around the fruits to remove all the skin and pith. Cupping the orange in one hand and working over the serving bowl, carefully cut the segments out from between the membranes. (Be sure to cut only until you reach the middle of the fruit!) Over a separate small bowl, firmly squeeze the remaining membranes to release all the orange juice.
Add the lemon juice and brown sugar to the freshly squeezed orange juice and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Pour over the strawberries and orange segments and gently toss to combine. Sprinkle with fresh mint. Taste and add more lemon juice if necessary (the syrup should have a perfect balance of tart and sweet). Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to six hours. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and serve in shallow bowls with spoons.
