Corned Beef & Cabbage

3 lbs corned beef
10 whole cloves
1/4 c hot honey sweet mustard
2 tbsp brown sugar
Olive oil
1 med. yellow onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 head of cabbage, sliced 1/2"

Heat 2 tbsp oil on med high in a large sauté pan. Add chopped onions and garlic. Add a third of the sliced cabbage to the pan. Sprinkle with a little salt and stir. Spread out over the bottom of the pan and let it brown - then use a metal spatula to lift it up and flip it. Add another third of the cabbage to the pan and repeat above steps. Then the same with the remaining third. Can be made ahead and reheated. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lay corned beef, fat side up, on aluminum foil and insert the cloves into the meat. Coat the top with mustard and then sprinkle brown sugar. Wrap (loosely) the corned beef with foil and place in a roasting pan and bake for 2 hours. Open the foil, spread a little more mustard on, and broil for 2-3 min. Let rest for 5-10 min, then cut, into 1/2" thick slices. Serve immediately with the cabbage and boiled potatoes. Serves 5.

Seeing how our last week of distribution coincides with St Patty's Day and there's lots of cabbage.....
