Enhance the Corned Beef:
- Use a high-quality corned beef brisket with a good amount of marbling.
- Brine the brisket for at least 24 hours in a mixture of water, salt, sugar, and pickling spices. This will help tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
- Consider using a homemade pickling spice blend to customize the flavors.
Boost the Vegetables:
- Use a rainbow variety of vegetables, such as carrots, parsnips, turnips, and green beans.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
- Add some chopped onion or garlic to the vegetables for extra flavor.
- Roast the vegetables in the oven with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. This will enhance their sweetness and add a crispy texture.
Elevate the Cabbage:
- Core the cabbage and cut it into wedges.
- Sauté the cabbage in a large skillet with butter or olive oil until it wilts slightly.
- Add a splash of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice to brighten the flavor. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Improve the Sauce:
- Make a simple pan sauce by deglazing the skillet with broth or dry white wine.
- Stir in a tablespoon of cornstarch or flour to thicken the sauce.
- Add some chopped fresh herbs, such as thyme or parsley, for added flavor.
Additional Tips:
- Serve the corned beef and vegetables with roasted or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
- Garnish the dishes with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color and flavor.
- Consider making a side of horseradish sauce for those who enjoy a bit of heat.
