New England Boil is a staple recipe found in every New England kitchen…or at least it should be! This one pot dish is traditionally made with cabbage, carrots, potatoes and either corned beef, plain beef brisket or smoked picnic ham shoulder. In this recipe, we use corned beef brisket and, in addition to the usual vegetables, we add turnip, rutabaga or parsnips (or a combo). You’ll enjoy this hearty comfort food year-round. After you’ve made this satisfying meal, share the recipe with friends and family on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter.
Place the corned beef and peppercorns (or pickling spice) in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce temperature to a simmer and cook for about 3-4 hours, until the meat is tender. While cooking, occasionally skim the foam and add more water to keep the meat covered. Once cooked, remove the meat and keep in a warm oven until ready to slice and serve.
Add onions and root vegetables and cook for at least 30 minutes. Add wedges of cabbage and continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes.
Slice and plate the meat, surround with vegetables and top with fresh chopped parsley. If desired, serve with accompaniments such as apple cider vinegar, horseradish and Cabot Salted Butter.
With the leftovers you can make corned beef hash for breakfast the next day or use with cooked beets (see recipe instructions for how to make cooked beets) to make Red Flannel Hash.
