irish (armenian) boiled dinner
This is a slight variation of the traditional boiled dinner. It is full of flavor without overpowering the subtle deliciousness of the corned beef, cabbage, or root vegetable. I feel that it enhances and brings out the natural richness of the ingredients as only a home cooked meal can. Enjoy it!

How To Make irish (armenian) boiled dinner
-
Step 12 days ahead - take meat out of package and place in cold water to de-brine. Change water every 4-6 hours. Can be kept in fridge or on counter (trust me!)
-
Step 2Clean, wash and cut your carrots, parsnips, turnip, onions, and cabbage. (I leave the skins on the carrots and parsnips)
-
Step 3Arrange carrots, parsnips, turnip, and onions on the bottom and around the edges of your cooking instrument in as much of a single layer as possible.
-
Step 4Place the corned beef on top of them.
-
Step 5Arrange the chopped cabbage around (and in between - if you have more than one piece of meat) the corned beef. DO NOT CUT THE CORNED BEEF INTO SMALLER PIECES.
-
Step 6Sprinkle as much of or as little of the 23 seasoning salute over the combined ingredients. A nice coating is sufficient. Leave some seasoning for after liquid is added.
-
Step 7Pour Apple juice over the spices ensuring that they are dissolved and included in with the liquid.
-
Step 8Pour in the beer and whiskey now if you choose to use them, then add the water until the liquid level reaches to about 3/4 - 5/8 of the way up.
-
Step 9Sprinkle on some more seasoning just to lightly cover the surface of the meat and veggies.
-
Step 10If using a roasting pan - tightly cover with tin foil and place into oven for 6-8 hours at 220-235 degrees F, until beef is tender.
-
Step 11If using slow cooker - place lid tightly and cook on low for 6-8 hours, until beef is tender
-
Step 12If using a pressure cooker - place lid on tightly, and cook on medium flame until max pressure is reached, then reduce flame to low and cook for 2-3 hours.
-
Step 13You can use the remaining stock for an awesome soup base or freeze it in ice cube trays and use as much or as little as you need for a skillet dinner or to simmer something. Adds amazing flavor to any dish.
-
Step 14Add the butter, garlic, parsley, and salt and pepper - to taste. Gently combine so that all the potatoes are evenly coated
-
Step 15Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with corned beef and vegetables
