Corned Beef and Cabbage
Thursday Throwback
Corned Beef and Cabbage with Potatoes and Carrots
This is a great one pot meal that requires practically no attention, prep, or even spices. Since the corned beef is already heavily spiced, it imparts flavor to all the other vegetables. The few times I’ve made this dish I always wonder why I don’t make it more often. It does take some time to cook, but very little attention is needed. You could also prepare this meal in a slow cooker.

I heard this recipe on an Earth Eats podcast, a great weekly public radio program based in Indiana, which focuses on healthy, local eating. The recipe is meant to be raw and vegan, but raw didn’t matter to me, so I went ahead and toasted the walnuts. Earth Eats calls the recipe Walnut Tacos, but to me it is more like a lettuce cup, or in this case, cabbage cup. It’s a great meat alternative for a taco, but my cabbage overpowered the flavor of the filling a bit. Maybe I’ll try it in a corn tortilla next time, since I don’t mind my food cooked.
