Cabbage, carrots and potatoes - the classic ingredients for corned beef and cabbage. But, what if you and your family don't really like corned beef? We find it too fatty and really only enjoy the vegetables that go with it. My solution for the past few years, has been to cook, easily in the crock pot, a vegetarian version of this delicious, Irish dish. By the end of the cooking time, all the vegetables are tender and flavorful. I really like eating meatless meals every now and then and this is definitely a healthier idea for Sunday's holiday.
Irish Vegetables
Place the following into a large crock pot.
8 carrots, peeled and cut
12 small white potatoes, cut in half
1 head cabbage, quartered
2 cups vegetable stock
Salt and Pepper to taste
Cook 6 hours on low, until everything is tender.
Have a great St. Patrick's Day weekend! Wear your green on Sunday, so you don't get a pinch :-)

Looks delish! Altho I am 100 % Irish, I have never been a fan of corned beef. This recipe is right up my alley. Will give it to the Mr. so he can make if for me!
ReplyDeleteYum! I love corned beef, sounds so delicious:) Have a blessed weekend dear friend, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteI love corned beef and the vegetables. I'm not doing potatoes because we've taken them out of our diet for the most part. I'll indulge on Easter because I need scalloped potatoes with ham, but I can resist them on St. Patrick's Day. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteIm not a big fan of cornbeef either until I made a cornbeef brisket with horsradish dipping sauce. Now we do it every year. Here is the post I did about it last year. Happy St. Patricks Day to you!

I must admit we will have the corned beef -- my Irishman gets it only this time of year! :)
ReplyDeleteMy hubby used to make a thing called 'Obly Gobbly Soup' for his crew in the fire station. It was corned beef, a load of veggies, tomato soup all cooked together. Delicious. If you are also into brussels sprouts there is a great recipe on Julies Lifestyle blog that I came across the other day (I LOVE brussels sprouts - or the devil's grapes as my teenager calls them!). Have a great St Patrick's Day with plenty of Guinness!. Enjoy. Chel x
