Guinness Corned Beef & Cabbage

GUINNESS CORNED BEEF & CABBAGE

 

Enjoy this hearty dish that is as much a part of St. Patrick's Day celebrations as shamrocks and wearing green. 

Serves 8-10

Ingredients:
4 lbs. flat cut corned beef brisket
1 jar Bellisari’s Saigon Street Sauce
1 (12 oz.) bottle Guinness draught (make sure you use Guinness draught, not stout as it will turn it bitter!)
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and cut into wedges
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 bay leaf
1⁄4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1⁄8-1⁄4 tsp. ground cloves (to taste)
1⁄4 tsp. ground allspice
1⁄4 tsp. ground black pepper
¼ tsp. coriander
1 head cabbage, cut into wedges, rinsed and drained
6 medium red potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 2 lb. carrot, peeled and cut into 3-inch pieces

Directions:
Rinse corned beef under cold water, and pat dry. In a Dutch oven, or other large pot with a cover, brown corned beef well on all sides over high heat. Pour Guinness over the meat, and add enough water to just cover the brisket. Add the onion, garlic, bay leaf, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, coriander and pepper to the pot. Bring pot to a boil and skim off any foam. Reduce heat to a simmer. Cover pot and simmer for 3 hours.

Add carrots, then potatoes and then the cabbage wedges to the pot. Cover pot, and continue cooking until meat and vegetables are tender (about 20-30 minutes). Remove meat and vegetables to warm serving platter/dishes, leaving the cooking liquid/sauce in the pot. Over high heat, bring the cooking liquid to a boil, and cook until the amount of liquid is reduced by half (about 10 minutes). Slice the corned beef; serve with the vegetables and the Bellisari’s Saigon Street Sauce on the side.

Note: Corned beef should always be sliced across the grain.

TRADITIONAL IRISH STEW

 

With St. Patrick’s Day around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about our favorite Irish recipes. We put a twist on traditional Irish stew and we hope you love it as much as we do!

Serves: 4-6

Ingredients:
4 potatoes, thinly sliced
4 medium onions, thinly sliced
6 carrots, sliced
1 lb. Canadian bacon, chopped
1 cup of Bellisari’s Balsamic Shallot & Black Garlic Spread
3 lb. lamb chops, 1-inch thick, trimmed, and cut into small pieces
Salt and pepper to taste
2½ cups water
4 potatoes, halved
Fresh parsley, finely chopped

Directions:
To make Irish stew, all the ingredients are assembled in layers in a large stew pot. Begin with layers of sliced potatoes, onions, and carrots. Top with a layer of Canadian bacon and lamb. Add salt and pepper liberally. Repeat these steps until all the ingredients are used. Add enough water to just cover the ingredients. Add Bellisari’s Balsamic Shallot & Black Garlic Spread. Arrange the halved potatoes on top of the stew, but not in contact with the water, so they can steam as the rest is cooking. Simmer over a very low heat for about 2 hours. Sprinkle liberally with the chopped parsley and serve in soup bowls.
