Anyone got a good recipie? I'm picking up a corned beef tomorrow (fresh made by Calef's) and about the only thing I can find has me simmering the corned beef, then taking the brine and using that to simmer the carrots, onion, potatoes, and cabbage for 40-50 minutes.
Sound about right or should I do something else? Oh, and I don't know what kind of spices they put on their corned beef, and I'm assuming it's NOT going to come with the spice packets, so aside from a couple of bay leaves, a few peppercorns, and maybe a couple of allspice berries, and a little kosher salt (unless it comes out of the corned beef), I'm lost as to what to put in for spices.
