A Guide to Cooking Corned Beef and Irish Bangers for St. Patrick's Day
With St. Patrick's Day just around the corner, we're excited to share our tips for cooking up the perfect corned beef and Irish bangers to celebrate the occasion.
Corned beef is a classic St. Patrick's Day dish that's enjoyed by many around the world. It's a salt-cured beef that's typically boiled or braised, and served with vegetables like cabbage, carrots, and potatoes. Irish bangers, on the other hand, are a type of sausage that are made with pork and seasonings like garlic and herbs.
To start, let's talk about preparing the corned beef. Here's our step-by-step guide to cooking corned beef to perfection:
Rinse the corned beef with cold water to remove any excess salt.
Place the corned beef in a large pot and cover it with water.
Add your favorite seasonings, such as peppercorns, bay leaves, and thyme.
Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and let the corned beef simmer for 2-3 hours or until it's tender.
Add chopped vegetables like cabbage, carrots, and potatoes during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Now, let's move on to Irish bangers. Here's how to cook them:
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Place the Irish bangers on a baking sheet and bake them in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they're cooked through.
Alternatively, you can grill the Irish bangers for a delicious smoky flavor.
Once you've prepared the corned beef and Irish bangers, it's time to enjoy them! We recommend serving them with your favorite mustard, horseradish sauce, or gravy. Some people also like to serve corned beef and Irish bangers with a side of soda bread for a true Irish experience.
We hope this guide helps you prepare a delicious St. Patrick's Day feast that you and your loved ones will enjoy. Happy cooking, and happy St. Patrick's Day from Old Town Meat Market!
