"Here's how to make corned beef and cabbage the right way. My thanks to my great-grandmother Delia O'Dowd and other NYC Irish Catholics who invented it. It is not normally eaten in Ireland, folks!..."
INGREDIENTS
•
1/2-6 lb corned beef brisket
•
1 teaspoon peppercorn
•
2 dried bay leaves
•
1 -3 head fresh cabbage
•
1 -12 medium red potatoes
•
1 (1 lb) bag fresh carrot
•
fresh parsley (Dried won't do at all)
•
real butter (margarine won't do at all. Besides, we now know that butter is better for us than any of the margari)
•
1 fresh garlic clove
•
1 medium fresh sweet onion
•
yellow mustard (whatever floats your boat)
•
irish soda bread (see my N .y. C. Irish Soda Bread recipe)
