Classic Irish Boiled Dinner
Ingredients
3 pounds smoked pork shoulder
salt and pepper to taste
2 large onions, quartered
6 potatoes, peeled
8 ounces carrots, cut in half
1 large head cabbage, quartered
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
Directions
Place the smoked pork into a large pot and fill with enough water to cover. Season with salt and pepper, cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 30 minutes.
Add the carrots, potato, cabbage and onions; cover and continue to simmer. Use kitchen string to tie the green beans into a bundle. Add them to the pot, cover and continue to cook until the carrots and potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes.
To serve, remove pork to a serving dish. Arrange vegetables around it. Allow the pork to rest about 10 minutes before slicing.
