So I wanted to do something for
ardaniel tonight, it's St. Patrick's day, she's occasionally wistful for food from Back Home, so I figured, what the hey. After looking at a few proper corned beef and cabbage recipies and realizing that I didn't have that kind of time tonight, I focused on the cabbage. I found
this Alton Brown recipe. It looked like I could bend it to my will, so I forged out to
Bay Cities Deli at lunch and got a pound of thick-sliced corned beef, and picked up the cabbage and fixin's on the way home from work. I chopped the cabbage instead of shredding it because I wanted bigger peices, so I left it in the water an extra minute or so, and I'm pretty sure I used MUCH more butter than that, but, hey, butter. Tossed the corned beef on the griddle just to heat them through. The result?
The cabbage needed just a teeny bit of salt, but was otherwise perfect. It was received by
ardaniel with many noms.
