Corned Beef and Cabbage
Serves 6, with leftovers
Time 5 hr 5 min
Corned beef doesn't get its name from the grain corn, but instead from its being preserved in brine. The brine was made using "grains", or corns, of salt, thus corned beef. And it wouldn't be St. Patrick's Day without corned beef and cabbage! Serve with spicy mustard and a garnish of chopped fresh parsley for extra green.
