If it is Saint Patrick's Day, then it must certainly also be National Corned Beef and Cabbage Day.
This is no coincidence.
You may be surprised to learn, that Corned Beef and Cabbage is as American
as Apple pie. A traditional recipe in Ireland was salt pork or a bacon joint
with cabbage and/or potatoes. Beef is not popular in cooking in Ireland, as the
ancient Celtic culture considered cows to be sacred, and cows were most often
used as work animals on farms. In the mid 1800's, Irish immigrants to America,
found their Jewish neighbors had corned beef, which was similar in taste, but
much cheaper. So, the the American version of this easy to make Irish dish,
became Corned Beef and Cabbage.
Recognizing that Corned Beef and Cabbage really originated in America, you
may wonder if you can truly call it "Irish"? Well, of course it is! It was
created by Irish people. They just happened to be immigrants to the U.S..
Corned Beef is usually made from brisket or round roast, cured in a
seasoned brine. Corned beef and cabbage recipes are easy to make. The basic
ingredients are corned beef, cabbage, potatoes and carrots, slowly stewed in
water. Find
a recipe
You can add a variety of other herbs and spices. Feel free to
experiment.
We hope you enjoy your dinner tonight.... It's corned beef and
cabbage.
