Corned Beef and Cabbage: Beyond St. Patrick's Day

A simple and classic, resulting in a flavorful and hearty dish

Corned Beef and cabbage is not only perfect for St. Patrick's Day, It is good any time of year. This recipe is the most popular and traditional method of making corned beef and cabbage is to boil the corned beef brisket with onions, garlic, and spices until tender.

Just because this is a hearty meal, you don't have to serve a hearty wine. You can serve a full-body white wine, like an oaked-Chardonnay, or fruit-forward, medium acid red wine such as a New Zealand Pinot Noir.
