If anyone else is think Corned beef in slow cooker, I just received a recipe from Food & Wine and it also has a Guinness ice Cream recipe with it!
Slow Cooker Corned Beef & Vegetables
One 6 1/2-pound corned beef
6 heads of garlic
10 cups water
6 medium carrots, peeled
6 medium red potatoes, halved
One 2-pound head of green cabbage, cut into 6 wedges
Mustard and horseradish, for serving
1.Put the corned beef in a large slow cooker. Add the garlic and 6 cups of the water, cover and cook on high for 5 hours and 30 minutes.
2.Add the remaining 4 cups of water and cook on low until the corned beef is tender, about 1 hour and 30 minutes longer. Transfer the corned beef to a large pan and cover with foil. Discard the garlic.
3.Add the carrots and potatoes to the cooker, cover and cook on high until almost tender, about 2 hours. Add the cabbage wedges and cook until tender, about 45 minutes.
4.On a carving board, carve the corned beef across the grain into 1/3-inch-thick slices. Keeping the slices together, return the meat to the slow cooker and cook on low until heated through, about 15 minutes. Serve the corned beef and vegetables in the cooking liquid, passing mustard and horseradish at the table.
Guinness Ice Cream
16 ounces Guinness
2 cups heavy cream
1 3/4 cups whole milk
15 large egg yolks
1 cup granulated sugar
Chocolate-Covered Pretzels, for serving
1.In a large saucepan, combine the Guinness with the cream and milk and bring to a simmer over moderately high heat. In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar. Gradually add the hot Guinness cream to the yolks, whisking constantly until well blended.
2.Pour the mixture into the saucepan and cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly until it coats the back of a spoon, about 6 minutes; do not let it boil. Pour the custard into a medium bowl set in a large bowl filled with ice water. Let stand until the custard is cold, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
3.Pour the custard into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions (this may have to be done in 2 batches). Pack the ice cream into an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
4.Spoon the ice cream into bowls and top with some Chocolate-Covered Pretzels. Serve at once.
