Instant Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage

Melt-in-your-mouth corned beef and cabbage

1 large onion, cut into 1/2-inch wedges

3 sprigs fresh thyme

3 cloves peeled garlic

3 tablespoons pickling spice

One 4-pound piece corned beef brisket, rinsed

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 rutabaga, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks

2 leeks, white and light green parts only, split lengthwise, cleaned and cut into 1-inch lengths

4 carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces

1 small head green cabbage, core intact, cut into thick wedges

1/4 cup loosely packed fresh parsley leaves, chopped

Sour cream, prepared horseradish and whole-grain mustard, for serving

Put the onion, thyme, garlic, pickling spice, brisket and 6 cups water into an Instant Pot®. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook.

Seal and cook on high pressure for 85 minutes. Follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release, then remove the meat and set aside. Strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl and return 2 cups back to the Instant Pot® along with the butter.

Add the rutabaga, leeks, carrots and cabbage to the Instant Pot®. Seal and cook on high pressure for 4 minutes. Quick release the steam. Thinly slice the brisket across the grain and transfer to a serving platter. Arrange the vegetables around the meat, sprinkle with the parsley and serve with the sour cream, horseradish and mustard on the side.

Kitchen Islands

Photography by Jim Bathie

Kitchen Islands don't have to match.

You can be creative. If something sparks you try it. A kitchen island is about functionality.

Originally bare wood, the chest was painted in a distressed style while the top was finished with a wood stain. Two glass pendants spotlight the piece and add a warm glow to the room. With just enough room for a couple of bar-stools to sit opposite the drawers this piece became the perfect size island for the space. Country Cottage

Shamrock

St. Paddy's Day

Saint Patrick's Day

Feast of Saint Patrick

Lá Fhéile Phádraig

Saint Patrick’s Day, feast day (March 17) of St. Patrick, patron saint of Ireland. Born in Roman Britainin the late 4th century, he was kidnapped at the age of 16 and taken to Ireland as a slave. He escaped but returned about 432 to convert the Irish to Christianity. By the time of his death on March 17, 461, he had established monasteries, churches, and schools. Many legends grew up around him—for example, that he drove the snakes out of Ireland and used the shamrock to explain the Trinity. Ireland came to celebrate his day with religious services and feasts.

It was emigrants, particularly to the United States, who transformed St. Patrick’s Day into a largely secular holiday of revelry and celebration of things Irish. Cities with large numbers of Irish immigrants, who often wielded political power, staged the most extensive celebrations, which included elaborate parades. Boston held its first St. Patrick’s Day parade in 1737, followed by New York City in 1762. Since 1962 Chicago has coloured its river green to mark the holiday. (Although blue was the colour traditionally associated with St. Patrick, green is now commonly connected with the day.) Irish and non-Irish alike commonly participate in the “wearing of the green”—sporting an item of green clothing or a shamrock, the Irish national plant, in the lapel. Corned beef and cabbage are associated with the holiday, and even beer is sometimes dyed green to celebrate the day. Although some of these practices eventually were adopted by the Irish themselves, they did so largely for the benefit of tourists.
