No ratings yet

Ingredients

  • 4 lbs lean raw corned beef brisket
  • 3 Tbsp pickling spice (often included with brisket)
  • 1 medium rutabaga, halved and cut into wedges
  • 1 lb large carrots, cut into 4-inch pieces
  • 1 1/4 lbs fingerling potatoes
  • 1 leek, white and light-green parts only, cut into 3-inch pieces
  • 1 head Savoy cabbage, cut into wedges
  • 1/3 cup horseradish, drained
  • 1/3 cup creme fraeche or sour cream

Instructions

1

Place the corned beef in a large slow cooker and scatter the pickling spices on top. Layer the rutabaga, carrots, potatoes and leek in the cooker (in this order for even cooking). Add enough hot water (4 to 5 cups) to cover the meat by at least 1 inch, put the lid on the slow cooker and cook on high, 7 to 8 hours.

2

Remove the meat and vegetables from the slow cooker and keep warm. Put the cabbage in a microwave-safe dish with 2 cups cooking liquid from the slow cooker, cover and microwave until tender, 7 to 10 minutes.

3

Mix with the horseradish and creme fraeche in a small bowl.

4

Slice the corned beef and serve with the slow-cooked vegetables, cabbage and sauce; reserve about a quarter each of the meat and vegetables and 1 1/2 cups cooking liquid for Corned Beef Hash.
