Easiest Slow-Cooker Corned Beef And Cabbage
Prep time for this St. Patrick’s Day classic is no more than 5 minutes. All you have to do is peel some carrots, slice a cabbage into large pieces and put everything into the pot. The long-simmering dish is as satisfying as it is easy to make.
6 carrots, peeled and cut in half if desired
1 5-pound corned beef (either point cut or flat cut)
1 head of green cabbage, cut into wedges
Pickling spice mix (if your corned beef comes with a packet, use that. If not, mix together a teaspoon of mustard seeds, a teaspoon of coriander seeds, ½-teaspoon allspice berries, ¼-teaspoon caraway seeds and a bay leaf)
2 large sprigs of fresh dill
1) Place carrots in the slow cooker and top with the corned beef, fat-side up.
2) Sprinkle with pickling spice mixture and add the dill. Add water to cover. Cover and cook for 7 hours on low.
3) Add cabbage, tucking the wedges around the meat. Cover and cook on high for one hour.
4) Remove the meat to a cutting board and slice. Return meat to pot and divide meat, carrots, cabbage and broth among plates. Garnish with additional fresh dill and serve with mustard if you like.
