Spot on! I needed a reminder of cooking method and this is exactly how my Gran made it. I was looking for a recipe without all the fancy carrot and onion nonsense. It's just meant to be the ham shank or ribs, cabbage and potatoes with a bit of the cabbage water in the bowl...lovely and any left over ham can go in the freezer to use with yellow split pea soup. This is real traditional, hearty, tasty food that I wish families in this recession would learn about as it would help their food money spread a bit further.
Great, simple video! Living outside of Ireland at the moment, and got a notion this evening to make this. I'll definitely be checking out more of your videos. International food is great but you cant beat food from home -An Irishman in Germany
When I was little my mother used to do it with bacon ribs (or spare ribs as she called them). They would go so soft in a pressure cooker even the bones were edible! God I miss her and I miss that dinner. I tried it myself but nah...it had to be the Mammy's...
call me such a typical paddy but this is my all time comfort food when i was a kid and still is. also, we used to boil the ham with the cabbage in the same water, then finish off the ham in the oven. also, steamed rooster potatoes unpeeled with loads of butter melting ontop (:
My mouth is watering just looking at it. Where are the Irish restaurants in London? This is the sort of man food I want to eat. Not all this overpriced poncey food served on square black plates knocked up by some effete metrosexual.
My wife and I went to Hanwell to pick up a car and we found an Irish run cafe, they had bacon and cabbage and corned beef, beetroot and potatoes.. it was amazing, I only ever got to eat those at home when I was a kid.
Is that Hanwell in West London? A bit far from the barn for me. Why can't supermarkets include this sort of food. They have an abundance of trendy ethnic grub on offer. Maybe they think Irish food it is not sexy enough? Bloody racists the lot of them.
Saint George yea its in West London across from the Nissan Dealership if its still there. I am going back 4 years. Racist.. ha ha ha you sound like one of my uncles.. I did go to ASDA on Saturday and brought the stuff to make this. Even my Vegi wife liked the smell... so it got me thinking that Irish cuisine might be a cure for vegetarianism.
Vegetarianism the curse of the new-man. Oh dear what's that my boy? Something father should speak to you about along with the bees and the birds. A branch of Lidl has just opened around the corner from here maybe they will have something more substantial and filling.
i add a large chopped onion, tea spoon of organic honey and a ham stock to the boiling ribs/ham joint ,.. the cabbage i add butter and black pepper, my mash must have butter, milk and spring onion , this also should come with white sauce its a treat why not have all the extras lol
I'm so glad that I found this video. Yay! I've been looking for a succinct, easy to follow and most of all EASY recipe for Irish Cabbage and Bacon. I will try out this recipe exactly as you've stated and add some nice boiled potatoes as an accompaniment on the plate. My mouth is watering already, it looks so delicious. Thank you for uploading this. Greetings from Wales 😄
I've been making this dish for years, but always called it just ham and cabbage. I didn't realize it until watching a Travel Channel show on Dublin that the Irish refer to ham as bacon and bacon as rashers. I serve it over mashed potatoes. The other variation I make is to cut the ham into bite-size pieces after cooking and add it back into the broth with potatoes and serve as a soup. Either way it's delicious and one of my favorite comfort foods. Do you have a video on Dublin Coddle?
Bacon and ham in Ireland are two different things. The cut determines which is ham and which is bacon. Bacon tends to be the fattier cuts like the loin and the ham is the leaner rump. I always thought this was universal. The term rasher is only used to describe thinly sliced bacon like a breakfast bacon.
Ryan Coyle yes me to and my farther, he would always say save that water from the cabbage never throw it away I'll drink it later.. That's what he did most of his life growing up in Dublin... Now I'm saving it always to make soups left the lentil soaking 2 days now, will be a bit of everything thrown... My kids are born in the UK like me.. But I still make them eat Irish food as I did as a kid.. Other half of my children is Italian, and I've learnt a lot of the dishes... So it's 50 Irish 50 Italian foods and often a British dish thrown in.. Only in my kitchen. Lucky kids I say
Sometimes I grill ham, potatoes and cabbage on the grill. :D Wrap the veggies up in foil on indirect heat, sear the meat and then let that cook on indirect for the remainder. Butter, salt, pepper and good to go.
@Kenza Zaher The corned beef doesn't need cooking. If you did, I am sure that there will be a high fat content in your stock. As everybody has said, keep the stock or drink a mugfull with a pinch of pepper.
only slight Suggestion id humbly suggest is use bacon Ribs or Back Bacon but that pretty fine as it is . hate when people try to Improve it with herbs and Stuff
Do not remove the foam thats the flavor! and when you put the meat in the cold water at the start add some tyme and parsley to that. Cabbage 7 mins you want nice leafy cabbage cause if you over boil you kill the nutriants. Ps where is the potatoes and parsley sauce?
I use smoked bacon joint and add a smidge of ground cumin , add turnips into pot 1/2 hour before end. Cabbage 15 mins before end. Brown sauce or mustard on the side.
> Pouring off that all bacon and cabbage flavor along with water to the sink. WHYYYYY? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU? This is the perfect base for a soup and you treated it like a waste for Christ's sake.
I'm an Englishman and I know better than to throw away the stock, but then all of my family is Irish and I'm taught me the proper way to cook this meal....and it's cooked with onion as well as the vegetable that Ireland is famous for, potatoes!
@@lukemurphy6244 My Irish grandmother used to say that white cabbage was only fit for cows and Englishmen and always made soup with the water. As you said, "fecin Englishman".
Wrong wrong wrong . So plain . I come from a travelling community and honestly if you follow the way my mother did it it was sooo beautiful I mean so tasty . Fill the pot up with water as he said and put the bacon and the cabbage inside to boil then add a half table spoon of baking soda to help soften the meat and the cabbage (green and white cabbage preferably then add a full cup of chopped up turnip with 2cups of chopped up potatoes and a tea spoon of salt . Once it’s boiled all together after about 45 mins to an hour then drain most of the water leaving just the end of it so that it keeps its flavour and stays moist if you want to fridge some of it for later . Once served on the side you could half brown sauce with it or even ketchup the potatoes use to be lovely with both these sauces mmmmmm
Wrong on a number of levels. Remove the bacon from the water, that is your meats resting time whilst you cook the cabbage. Certainly don't cook cabbage for 20 mins as you will a) lose any flavour from the cabbage and b) end up with very mushy cabbage.
Ham and cabbage is what that is you also don't drain off all the water from the cabbage. The IRISH way is cooking the three ingredients together. Wrong recipe mate!
+Bam Itz Millie I'm sorry but you're wrong. It is. My wife is Irish and we spend a lot of time in Ireland. Cabbage and Bacon is a traditional Irish dish as my wife and in-laws would tell you.
Bam Itz Millie Im sorry, can you please back up this argument? I grew up on a farm in the countryside in Ireland and used to eat bacon and cabbage about twice a week. Id be curious to see what your angle is
Thank you so much. My mother in Dublin (Finglas) did it the same way. We used the cabbage water as a sauce.☘

In Ireland we use the cabbage water as well. This is a very dry bacon and cabbage
You fugot potatoes
Awful dry 🤣🤣
@@rachelbrown826 how do y'all use the cabbage water tho? happy St. Paddy's
Drink the cabbage water and you’ll be on the toilet for days 😂😂
@@shahranhussain6037 Apparently it's used as a sauce, according to a separate comment
Boiled bacon ribs and cabbage, we new the nights were drawing in mum had this ready for tea. Yum,
Had this a lot as a child....Great food😃
My mom used to throw together in a pot, ham, potatoes, and cabbage, cook until all was done seasoning along the way..... One of my favorite dishes...
angie pushes her form of G
My other half did say that Bacon and Cabbage without potatoes is like tea without milk!
I totally agree....: )
+Warren Nash Let's be honest. Nobody turns down potatoes. Nobody.
Oh know not the potatoes in same pot I coulden 😫😫😫
Just bought cabbage and gammon, but had no idea what to do with it. Now I do! Simple but delicious. Great presentation. Cheers. 👍
Well why did you buy it if you didn’t know what to do with it?
Idiot lol
It’s good to see a genuine Irish recipe. There’s nothing worse than seeing “Traditional Irish Corned Beef and Cabbage”
Genuine Irish recipe..... you're obviously a plastic paddy or easily led! Lol.

im a savage for bacon and cabbage
My ma used to fry the cabbage after the bacon lovely feed on a winter night.

@@WarrenNash Skins an' all.

Look's amazing....
Thanks, a nice comforting meal!

My favourite 🎉
Potatoes, cabbage, ham and a ton of parsley sauce. Having that tomorrow, can't fucking wait 🇮🇪

Cabbage 🥬 alone gets me all cannibalistic with the 🥓 bacon aswell!!! Love ❤️ it 💪
Ha ha. Great to hear. Enjoy
Why throw the water after draining the cabbage? It could be used for stock.
+stevo54838 Ah yes, that's a great idea. Thanks!
+Warren Nash you broke my heart when you poured it away I use to drink it when I was younger 🙈😂
+Ryan Coyle Its good for your stomach, or so I've been told.

you drink cabbage water if your pregnant
The foam is just protein.
judging by the amount of protein, it was not a ham inflated by a water protein mix.
I had this when I was there in 2018. It's delicious. Is it traditionally eaten on new years as well???
Nope.
It's eaten at least once a week in my family. My granny makes it the best!
Sometimes I grill ham, potatoes and cabbage on the grill. :D Wrap the veggies up in foil on indirect heat, sear the meat and then let that cook on indirect for the remainder. Butter, salt, pepper and good to go.
Cook the potatoes in the pot too with the ham and cabbage lovley
I use oatmeal to absorb excess liquid at the end so I don't drain the liquid away. Works great.
Great advice.
My favourite cut of bacon is back bacon (and also mashed potatoes).
Darn I forgot the mash!
Best thing to do with leftovers is fry it with potato the next day
Can i use corn beef instead?
@Kenza Zaher The corned beef doesn't need cooking. If you did, I am sure that there will be a high fat content in your stock. As everybody has said, keep the stock or drink a mugfull with a pinch of pepper.
The music is a bit too loud ☹️
only slight Suggestion id humbly suggest is use bacon Ribs or Back Bacon but that pretty fine as it is . hate when people try to Improve it with herbs and Stuff
Serve with potatoes boiled in their Jackets and brown sauce.
I am going to make this but add the potatoes in with the cabbage.
That's a great idea :-)
+Mrs P : I grew up on ham, cabbage and potatoes. yumm
+Mrs P That's what I usually do Mrs P and turnips and/or carrots
How can you say cabbage and bacon o.O
IKR ITS BACON AND CABBAGE
+ally3452 what
Nah its cabbage and bacon not bacon and cabbage
It looks like almost Korean Bossam.
As dry as a Bodhran solo in the Sahara desert.
Do not remove the foam thats the flavor! and when you put the meat in the cold water at the start add some tyme and parsley to that. Cabbage 7 mins you want nice leafy cabbage cause if you over boil you kill the nutriants. Ps where is the potatoes and parsley sauce?
I tried this in Ireland. It was delicious but it was served with a white sauce on top
Parsley sauce is the white sauce
I use smoked bacon joint and add a smidge of ground cumin , add turnips into pot 1/2 hour before end. Cabbage 15 mins before end. Brown sauce or mustard on the side.
Sounds lovely.
Always serve white sauce with bacon n cabbage 🥬
Whoo fab idea. I'll try that.
> Pouring off that all bacon and cabbage flavor along with water to the sink.
WHYYYYY? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU? This is the perfect base for a soup and you treated it like a waste for Christ's sake.
Fecin Englishman is making it that's why!
I'm an Englishman and I know better than to throw away the stock, but then all of my family is Irish and I'm taught me the proper way to cook this meal....and it's cooked with onion as well as the vegetable that Ireland is famous for, potatoes!
@@lukemurphy6244 My Irish grandmother used to say that white cabbage was only fit for cows and Englishmen and always made soup with the water. As you said, "fecin Englishman".
Could have frozen the liquor. For use at another time. Makes a great soup. What a waste of a good stock here.
Hot ham water and a cabbage
No do the same.Maori Boil up.Meat Watercress Spuds👍
the irish were really struggling, damn. mesoamerica doing their asses a solid with them potatoes though
I wouldn't discard the stock 🤔
Thanks for the advice.

Baking soda 🤮 wrong wrong wrong. Meat doesn’t need help softening as long as one has time
I bet using a pork stock would enhance the flavor
Why the bloody hell would you pour away the cooking water? Good God if nothing else that would make a fabulous pea and ham soup.
Hope you didn’t throw out that water
It says in the Bible not to eat pork.
Unbelievable knife to cut meat.
Wrong on a number of levels. Remove the bacon from the water, that is your meats resting time whilst you cook the cabbage. Certainly don't cook cabbage for 20 mins as you will a) lose any flavour from the cabbage and b) end up with very mushy cabbage.
Oh dear, thanks Ian.
You cook vegetables for 20 minutes?????
Not usually. But for this traditional Irish dish I would.
if you can use the cabbage water then the bacon was not salty enough. his big mistake is he didn't use proper back bacon King of meats
White cabbage 🤔nooooooo!!!!
Red cabbage?
Ham and cabbage is what that is you also don't drain off all the water from the cabbage. The IRISH way is cooking the three ingredients together. Wrong recipe mate!
That's not done the Irish way at all
"cabbage and bacon!?"
..
Not Bacon n Cabbage? Nah. I stopped watching immediately
Oh dear.
BACON AND CABBAGE IS NOT A TRADITIONAL DISH!! IT WAS A DISH NADE BY THE AMERICANS!!!
+Bam Itz Millie I 100% disagree.
