Live Cooking Demonstration – Episode 2 (March 15, 2017)
Join me cooking an Irish feast to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and my wife’s birthday! This meal features two of the most iconic Irish dishes, Corned Beef and Cabbage and Bangers and Mash. Add in some pan roasted carrots and you have the Irish colors (Green, White, and Orange) as well as a tasty meal. The corned beef takes about 1 hour per pound so it won’t be able to be done live under an hour, but if you have a crock pot you can start this on your lunch break on low and it will be ready in time for dinner.
See the list of ingredients of each dish below. Please share and join me on Wednesday!
Corned Beef and Cabbage
This must be prepared ahead of time since it is slow-cooked in a crockpot.
- 3-4 lb Corned Beef Brisket
- Pickling spices
- 1/2 head Savoy cabbage

- 1 can Guinness
Optional:
- 1 lb potatoes, cubed or whole is small.
- 1 bag baby carrots or bite-sized if whole, pealed carrots
Step 1:
Cut onion into bite-sized pieces and dice the garlic.
If you’re not making mashed potatoes and the pan-seared carrots below, then add them to the crock pot now.
Step 2:
Add water to cover the vegetables.
Step 3:
Add the corned beef and Guinness. Cover with spice packet.
Step 4:
Cook on low for 2 hours per pound.
