Holly's New England Boiled Dinner image

A few years ago, my husband Tom found this recipe in a Marjorie Standish cookbook that I had purchased. Years ago, Marjorie Standish used to write a cooking column for the Portland Press Herald here in Maine. Tom did change the recipe and I am posting his version. This could not be easier, but it does take about four hours from start to finish. This is the kind of recipe that you want on a cold day, that's why we made this yesterday. It's cold here right now and we had a craving for all of those wonderful root vegetables.

Categories     Beef

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 - 3 1/2 pound corned beef briskit
4 - medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
16-20 - baby carrots
1 - medium turnip, peeled and cubed
1 - small cabbage, chopped

Steps:

  • Any other root vegetables may be added, but if you add beets, cook them separately.
  • Cover beef with water in a large pot. Bring this to a boil, and then simmer 1 hour per pound
  • One hour before the beef is done, add the vegetables, and that's it!!
  • When done serve with salt, pepper and butter on the vegetables. It's delicious. The turnip is incredible, and the next night you can make hash in a cast iron skillet.
