CORNED BEEF WITH CABBAGE, POTATOES AND CARROTS
Cure beef brisket in a salty, spiced brine and it becomes savory, tangy and aromatic corned beef. Get a corned beef made from flat-cut brisket, if you can, as it will be easier to slice into neat, uniform slabs. (The point cut has more striations of fat and may fall apart when sliced.) Braise the meat until tender, and add the vegetables toward the end of the braising time so they'll absorb the beef juices and soften until perfectly crisp-tender. Finish the beef with a simple honey-mustard glaze and a quick broil to caramelize, then serve it with more Dijon mustard and beer. (Here are slow cooker and pressure cooker versions of the recipe.)

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Remove the corned beef from its packaging in the sink and reserve the spice packet. Rinse the beef well under cold running water and pat it dry with paper towels. (If you don't rinse off the brine, the meat will be too salty.) If there is a substantial fat cap on top of the beef, place the beef on a cutting board and trim most of it, if you'd like. (The fat will not completely render away during cooking.) Be sure to leave at least a thin layer of fat on top, about 1/8- to 1/4-inch thick, to keep the meat moist.
- Transfer the corned beef to a large Dutch oven with the fat cap facing up. Add the wine and the spices from the packet. Cover the pot and transfer to the oven to cook, 3 hours.
- Baste the beef with the cooking liquid. Drop the potatoes and carrots into the liquid surrounding the beef and lay the cabbage wedges on top. Cover and cook until the corned beef and vegetables are tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. (A paring knife should slip easily into the beef, but the meat should not be falling apart.)
- Heat the broiler to high. Stir together the mustard and honey in a small bowl. Remove the corned beef from the pot and put it on a foil-lined sheet pan. Spoon the honey-mustard glaze all over the top and sides of the beef and slide it under the broiler. Cook until the glaze bubbles and caramelizes in spots, about 3 minutes.
- Let the corned beef rest for 5 to 10 minutes, then slice it against the grain into 1/2-inch slabs. Place the beef slices on the serving platter alongside the vegetables and drizzle everything with a little bit of the cooking liquid. Taste the vegetables, and season them with flaky sea salt, if necessary. (The beef will not need to be seasoned with salt.) Season the beef and vegetables to taste with black pepper. Serve with Dijon mustard.

Steps:
- For roast beef:
- Pat roast dry and put, fat side up, on rack in roasting pan.
- Coarsely crush peppercorns in a mortar and pestle or folded kitchen towel (not terry cloth) with a meat pounder or bottom of a heavy skillet. Stir together peppercorns, 3 tablespoons kosher salt, thyme, and rosemary in a small bowl.
- Rub roast all over with oil, then coat it all over with peppercorn mixture, pressing to help it adhere. Let coated roast stand at room temperature 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in lower third. Roast beef roast 20 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of meat (do not touch bone) registers 110°F, 1 1/2 to 2 hours more. Transfer to a platter (keep fat and pan juices in roasting pan) and let stand, uncovered, 40 minutes (temperature of meat will rise to about 130°F for medium-rare).
- While roast stands, put second oven rack in upper-third position and increase oven temperature to 450°F. Line 1 sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Strain pan juices from roasting pan through a sieve into a glass measuring cup (reserve roasting pan). Drain potatoes well and toss in a large bowl with 3 tablespoons melted beef fat from roasting pan and 1 teaspoon kosher salt, then spread out on parchment-lined sheet pan. Toss carrots in same bowl with another 3 tablespoons beef fat from pan and 1 teaspoon kosher salt, then spread out on other rimmed sheet pan. Roast vegetables in upper and lower thirds of oven, stirring occasionally and switching position of pans halfway through roasting, until golden, 25 to 30 minutes for carrots and 30 to 35 minutes for potatoes.
- Make jus while vegetables roast:
- Skim off and discard any remaining fat from pan juices. Set pan over 2 burners. Add 1 cup of wine and deglaze pan by boiling it over high heat, scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Pour into pan juices in cup.
- Cook shallot in 1 tablespoon butter with remaining 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Add wine mixture in cup, along with remaining wine in bottle, and boil over high heat until mixture is reduced to 3/4 cup, about 10 minutes.
- Add broth and continue to boil over high heat until mixture is reduced to 1 1/2 cups. Strain mixture through a sieve into another saucepan and whisk in remaining 3 tablespoons butter (cut into pieces) until incorporated. Season sauce with salt and pepper.
- To carve roast, slide a carving knife along inside of ribs to separate meat from bones, then cut ribs into individual bones. Slice meat and serve with vegetables and jus.

ROASTED POTATOES AND BABY CARROTS WITH GARLIC
I just purchase a small bag of baby carrots and use the whole bag for this, or use regular peeled carrots cut into about 2-inch chunks. Try to use a good quality olive oil for this. After you have been making this for a while you will know just how much to adjust your salt and garlic, the amounts listed are about the amounts I use when I make this, but all ingredients can be adjusted to suit taste, if you are a garlic-lover use lots of garlic, after cooking the garlic flavor will mellow and will not as strong, so don't be intimated by 8 cloves! This can be made hours in advance and just rewarmed. If you find that the baby carrots are done before the potatoes just remove them to a bowl. I make this very often, it is a simple side dish with lots of flavor, I roast all of my root veggies using the same method and ingredients, rutabagas, parsnips, beets, large chunky size carrots and even sweet potatoes or yams, just peel them and chop into 2-inch pieces (larger size for yams). This is a fantastic side dish, simple and delicious!

BAKED FARMER SAUSAGE, POTATOES, AND CARROTS WITH GRAVY
This used to be the traditional Mennonite Sunday lunch at our house -- it has since become more likely at supper, but it's just as traditional and just as delicious! I'm not sure where farmer sausage is all available or whether it's one of those local specialties just available in Manitoba, so I've posted a recipe for that as well for those of you who make your own sausages. (#184513) If you can't buy it nearby or make it yourself, I'm terribly sorry -- you're definitely missing out! This recipe is for those of you who can.

Steps:
- If desired, peel frozen farmer sausage. (The best way is to hold it under a trickle of warm water.) Break sausage into 4-6 chunks.
- Place potatoes and carrots into a roaster or large casserole dish. Add water to cover the bottom of the dish.
- Place frozen sausage chunks over top (so drippings will flavour the vegetables), cover, and bake at 375F for 1-1/2 hours.
- Remove from oven and drain juices from casserole dish into a saucepan. (You may want to put the sausage and vegetables in a serving dish now and keep warm in the oven.).
- For gravy: Mix flour and milk together, adding milk gradually so a paste forms and slowly gets thicker -- you don't want lumps! (Actually, a Tupperware gravy shaker works best for this. You can just throw it all together and shake it up without worrying about lumps at all.).
- Add milk mixture to drippings and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until gravy is thickened. (Depending on how much water content your sausage had, you may need to add a little more flour or milk to achieve the desired thickness.).
- Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.

JAMIE OLIVER'S ROAST POTATOES, PARSNIPS, AND CARROTS
Quoted from Jamie Oliver's website: "Have a go at this recipe - it will give you potatoes that are perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. The principle of parcooking in boiling water, then tossing in flavoured oil and roasting until deliciously golden and crisp, is just about the same for any other root veg, particularly parsnips and carrots, so I've included these in this recipe too."

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400°.
- Peel the vegetables and halve any larger ones lengthways. Break the garlic bulb into cloves, leaving them unpeeled, and bash them slightly with the palm of your hand. Pick the rosemary leaves from the woody stalks.
- Put the potatoes and carrots into a large pan - you may need to use two - of salted, boiling water on a high heat and bring back to the boil.
- Allow to boil for 5 minutes, then add the parsnips and cook for another 4 minutes.
- Drain in a colander and allow to steam dry. Take out the carrots and parsnips and put to one side.
- Fluff up the potatoes in the colander by shaking it around a little - it's important to 'chuff them up' like this if you want them to have all those lovely crispy bits when they're cooked.
- Add the olive oil, garlic, and rosemary leaves.
- Put the vegetables into the tray with a good pinch of salt and pepper and stir them around to coat them in the flavours.
- Spread them out evenly into one layer - this is important, as you want them to roast, not steam as they will if you have them all on top of each other
- Cook for approximately 40 minutes or until the vegetables become browned and crispy.

Steps:
- 1. Spray a shallow pan with non-stick cooking spray. Cut the cabbage into thick slices. Arrange them on the pan. Place as many red potatoes and carrots arranged around the cabbage.
- 2. Sprinkle all with lemon juice. Cut the garlic glove and onion into small pieces and place around the other vegetables. Sprinkle with fresh ground black pepper and tony cachere's seasoning depending on your taste and how spicy you would like to make this.
- 3. Bake at 350 degrees uncovered for approx. 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender in the middle.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes and carrots: For the best results, select firm, smooth potatoes with no blemishes or sprouts. Choose carrots that are medium-sized and have a deep orange color.
- Cut the vegetables evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly. If the vegetables are cut into different sizes, some pieces may be overcooked while others are still undercooked.
- Use a large pot: The vegetables should have enough space to cook properly. If the pot is too small, the vegetables may be crowded and not cook evenly.
- Add enough water: The water should cover the vegetables by at least 1 inch. If there is not enough water, the vegetables may not cook evenly.
- Season the vegetables: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add herbs, such as parsley or thyme, for extra flavor.
- Cook the vegetables until they are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the type of vegetables and how they are cut. Potatoes and carrots typically take about 15-20 minutes to cook. You can check if the vegetables are done by piercing them with a fork. If the fork goes through easily, the vegetables are done.
- Drain the vegetables: Once the vegetables are cooked, drain them in a colander. This will remove any excess water.
- Serve the vegetables immediately: Potatoes and carrots are best served hot. You can add butter, sour cream, or gravy to taste.
Conclusion:
Potatoes and carrots are a classic side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. They are a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. By following these tips, you can make perfectly cooked potatoes and carrots that are sure to please everyone at the table.
