Traditional Newfoundland speciality of salted beef cooked with cabbage, carrots, turnips and potatoes.

Ingredients:

  • Determine quantities by number of people
  • Soak salt beef or salt giblets overnight. Drain.

  • Can be served with roasted local chicken, moose, pork or beef

Instructions:

  • Cover salt beef or giblets with water in a pot large enough for all ingredients.
  • Boil for about 2 hours. Add ingredients in order: cabbage, turnip, carrot, potatoes, leaving a few minutes between each one (Taste broth periodically for saltiness. Some water may have to be poured off and fresh water added).
