Ingredients
  • 1 3- to 3½-pound corned beef brisket
  • 4 cups beef stock
  • 1 onion quartered
  • 3 cloves garlic smashed
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 10 peppercorns
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 10 coriander seeds
  • 2 teaspoons brown or yellow mustard seeds
  • 8 allspice berries
  • 6 cloves
  • 1 cup dried yellow split peas
  • cheesecloth or a “pudding bag”
  • 1 small to medium head cabbage cut into 6 wedges
  • 6 large carrots cut into large pieces
  • 6 medium white potatoes halved
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Rinse the corned beef brisket and place it in a large stockpot. Cover with beef stock and add the onion, garlic and spices to the pot. (If your corned beef comes with a seasoning packet, you do have the option of using that instead of the spices listed here.) Place the dried split peas into a pudding bag, or wrap them in the cheesecloth, tying the cheesecloth loosely so that the peas have room to expand. Push the bag down into the liquid, adding a cup or two of water to make sure everything is submerged. Cover the pot with a lid and bring everything to a simmer. Lower the heat and simmer for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
  2. Add the cabbage wedges, carrots and potatoes, return the lid and continue to simmer for 30 minutes.
  3. When all the vegetables are tender, transfer the cooked split peas to a bowl. Remove the cheesecloth and discard. Mash the peas with a wooden spoon, stirring in the butter and season with salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Slice the beef, transfer the slices to a large platter with the vegetables and serve the mashed split peas on the side.
