Something for Everyone

Corned beef and cabbage may not be a traditional Irish dish (although it certainly draws inspiration from boiled bacon and cabbage, an Emerald Isle favorite) but we don’t let a St. Paddy’s Day go by without enjoying it in one form or another. Some years we serve it up as a plate, making it the centerpiece of our St. Patrick’s Day meal. Other times we opt for a recipe that combines corned beef and cabbage in a creative way, requiring less time and effort to make, like soup or gnocchi.

We’ve got the perfect solution: this pressure cooker recipe that delivers all of the flavor you’d expect—in a fraction of the time.
