Then, we add fragrant peppercorns and bay leaves to infuse the meat with aromatic notes that will tantalize your taste buds.
But here’s where we diverge from the norm: instead of the usual cabbage, we’re incorporating Brussels sprouts into the mix. These little green gems bring a unique flavor and texture to the dish, complementing the savory richness of the corned beef with their subtle bitterness and satisfying crunch.
