The hands-off cooking method means that I'm not tied to the kitchen, freeing up my time to focus on what truly matters.

The low-carb aspect is a bonus, aligning with my healthy eating goals without sacrificing any flavour. The richness of the corned beef is balanced by the freshness of the cabbage, and a squeeze of lemon adds a delightful burst of acidity. It's a truly satisfying and unforgettable meal that never fails to impress.

Beyond the convenience and deliciousness, this recipe offers a sense of accomplishment. Creating a wholesome and flavorful meal from scratch, even a simple one, brings a sense of satisfaction.

Ingredients I used:

I used Murphy & David's beef brisket for the corned beef. The quality of the meat truly makes a difference in the final flavour.

Tips and Tricks:

  • For extra flavour, you can add a few sprigs of fresh thyme or rosemary to the slow cooker along with the corned beef and spices.
  • If you don’t have savoy cabbage, you can use green cabbage instead. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time as needed.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and make for a delicious lunch the next day.
  • Feel free to experiment with different spices to create your own unique flavour profile. A dash of smoked paprika or cumin would add an interesting twist.
  • Happy cooking!
