New England Boiled Dinner
ingredients:
• 3 lbs corned beef brisket
• water
• 1 onion, quartered
• 1 parsnip, chopped
• 3-4 carrots, chopped (or 1 carrot, same size as parsnip)
• 3 small turnips, cut into wedges
• 1.5 lbs red potatoes, quartered or halved depending on size
• half of a green cabbage, cored & cut into wedges
• 2 tsp kosher salt, divided use
• freshly ground black pepper for serving
instructions:
1)  In a heavy-bottomed pot, add corned beef along with the spice from the packet, onions, and enough water to cover (about 8 cups). Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Skim off any scum.
2)  Reduce heat, cover the pot and simmer for 2½ hours.
3)  Add parsnip, carrots, turnips, potatoes, and 1 tsp salt. Cover the pot and simmer for 15 minutes.
4)  Remove meat only. Add cabbage to the pot, season with 1 tsp salt and give it a stir. Simmer uncovered for another 15 minutes.
5)  When meat is cool enough to handle, either slice thinly against the grain or shred it. You can return the beef in the pot to gently warm it before serving.
6)  To serve, put meat on a platter and top with vegetables. Or, place sliced beef on a platter and serve vegetables with broth in a bowl. Have a pepper grinder to pass around the table.
