Prep Time: 30 minutes | Yield: 4 - 6

Ingredients

3lb corned beef brisket
  • 1 onion
  • 4 yukon gold potatoes
  • 1 small head of cabbage
  • 2 cups of baby or chopped carrots
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • (1) 12oz beer (author used Arcadia Brewing Co.'s Nut Brown Ale)
  • water

    • Directions

    1. To make this corned beef, place the carrots, quartered potatoes, and chopped onions in the bottom of a slower cooker. Cut the brisket in half and place on top of the veggies with chopped cabbage, pepper and spice packet that comes with the brisket.
    2. Pour the brown ale over the meat and veggies, and then fill the empty beer bottle with water twice and add that in as well, until the mixture is mostly covered in liquid. As the ingredients cook, they will shrink and be more submerged. Place one bay leaf on the top.
    3. Turn the slow cooker on low, and cook for 8 - 9 hours, or until the meat and veggies are tender. Remove the bay leaf before eating. Enjoy!

This was my third time homebrewing: the beer wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great. What was a standout was the toasty, chewy granola we made from the spent grain, baked with warming spices, dried fruit and dark maple syrup. We ate the granola with yogurt from the Jersey cows nearby, yogurt so fatty and tart the cream stuck to the lid in a cap of pale yellow. That granola was an extension of the first core tenet I learned in cooking and in farming: waste not.
