Subject: corned silverside
I need a recipe for corned silverside, using my slow cooker
Hello Eve,
Below are some ideas. Of course you can use corned silverside
in any recipe that calls for corned beef, and you can adapt
any regular corned silverside/beef recipe to your slow cooker.
Phaed
Corned Silverside Soup
Serves 6
Main Meal
1.5kg Piece of Corned Silverside (Beef)
2 Tbs Sweet Pickles
1 Tbs sugar
1/2 cup brown vinegar
1 onion, roughly chopped
3 medium carrots, cut in half
1/4 Cabbage, thickly cut
2 large potatoes
Milk, margarine, garlic (optional)
Soup
2 medium leeks, chopped
4 medium to large potatoes, diced
6 medium carrots, diced
1/4 small cabbage, chopped
Main Meal Place the corned silverside in a large pot and cover with
cold water. Add the Sweet pickles, sugar, brown vinegar, and onion
and place lid on pot and bring to the boil. Then turn the pot down to
simmer for 2 1/2 hours turning the silverside every 1/2 hour. 1 hour
before cooking is due to finish place carrots into pot and then 1/2
hour before cooking finishes place cabbage into pot. Meanwhile in a
separate pot cut up potatoes and boil for 20 minutes, this is to make
mashed potatoes.
Remove the silverside from the pot and place on a plate and cover with
foil to let sit for 10 minutes and in the mean time strain the
potatoes and mash adding the margarine, garlic, and enough milk to
make a moist consistency. Using tongs remove the carrots from the
pot, then using a slotted spoon remove the cabbage from the pot.
Soup With the left over juices/water from cooking the silverside I
make a soup and place in the pot leeks, potatoes, carrots, and
cabbage. The amount of vegetables you use can be altered to suit
individual tastes however the above is what I do and works very well.
Bring to the boil then simmer until all vegetables are cooked. Remove
the vegetables and puree in a food processor until well blended. This
will have to be done in batches and I use a large bowl to put the
pureed vegetables in until I have pureed them all. Once this is done
place the pureed vegetables back into the pot and stir thoroughly.
I'm the only one who eats this delicious soup so I serve it up into
containers and put one in the fridge for lunch the next day whilst I
freeze the rest.
I find that as the Silverside can be salty and the fact that I don't
cook with salt anyway that there is no salt needed during the cooking
process so it would be wise to add salt according to taste at the time
of eating.
------------------------------------------------
Slow Cooker Corned Beef and Cabbage
4 cups hot water
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 large or 2 medium onions, cut into wedges
1 (3 lb) corned beef round or brisket packaged with spices
8 small white potatoes, scrubbed and cut into quarters
1 head green cabbage, cored and cut into 10 wedges
In a 6 quart crock pot, combine the water, vinegar, sugar, pepper, and
onions, mixing well. Place the corned beef into the mixture. Scatter the
potatoes over the top and around the sides. Cover and cook on high
heat for 4 hours. Remove the lid and scatter the cabbage wedges over
the top. Cover and continue cooking on high 3 to 4 hours longer, or until
the beef is tender. To serve, carve the beef into slices and serve with the
cabbage and potatoes, with some of the cooking liquid spooned over
the beef to keep it moist. Serves 6 to 8
-------------------------------------------------------

- good and old fashioned
Ingredients
2 - 21/2 kg Corned silverside 1 sliced Large onion
1 sliced Large carrot 1/2 tspn Mustard seeds
1/2 tspn Whole black peppercorns 6 whole Cloves
1 tspn Raw sugar 1/2 cup White vinegar
Method
1. Rinse meat in cold water. Place in large pot, cover with cold water
& bring to the boil. Discard water & put in fresh water to cover.
2. Add all other ingredients.

Subject: Lost Recipe
Please help me locate an old English family recipe known as Grandma
Miller's Sugar Cookies. It was a cake like cookie made with lard,
no butter, flour, small amount of sugar, egg (maybe), salt. They were
a rolled/cut out cookie. Baked @ 350 for 10 minutes and made about 6
dozen cookies. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Hello Tamala,
Searching on "Grandma Miller's Sugar Cookies" turned up two recipes, but
neither of them contains lard, and neither is rolled and cut. See the first
two recipes below.
On the other hand, searching on just "grandma's sugar cookies" and "lard"
turned up the third recipe below, which is very close to what you decribe.
The third recipe cookies do contain lard, they are rolled and cut, and they
are baked for 10 minutes at 350°.

Subject: Question:
> What is the largest word in the dictionary?
> Thanks for your help.
Hello Lee,
Perhaps you mean "longest" word.
It depends on which dictionary you're looking at. The longest non-proper
noun in the English language is:
"pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis", a lung disease. But that
word isn't in an ordinary household dictionary. It's in unabridged
dictionaries and medical dictionaries.
The longest word usually found in ordinary dictionaries used to be
"antidisestablishmentarianism" or "floccinaucinihilipilification". However,
since the advent of the movie "Mary Poppins", they've been dethroned by
"supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" in many dictionaries. If you count
proper nouns, which might be in the geographical section of some
dictionaries, then there's a town in Wales named
"Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch."
Of course, the real longest word is "smiles" because there's a "mile" between
the S's: S - mile - S
