Corned Beef Brisket with Vegetables

Ingredients:

  • 2 stalks of celery, cut in thirds
  • 3 carrots, cut in fourths
  • 1 onion, wedged
  • 4 potatoes, halved (chop in thirds or even fourths, if necessary, depending on size)
  • 6 sprigs thyme
  • 1 corned beef brisket (typically 2-3 pounds) with pickling spice
  • 1/2 head cabbage, wedged

In a 5-6 qt. crockpot, add all veggies (except cabbage) and the springs of thyme. Lay the brisket (fat side up) on top of the veggies. Sprinkle the pickling spice on top of the brisket. Fill with water until meat is almost covered (this was six cups in my six qt. crockpot). Cook on high for five hours.

Add cabbage and cook on high for another hour.

Serve with traditional Irish Soda Bread. You can also use the cooking liquid as a gravy. It’s really good with the bread.
