Caribbean Corned Beef and Cabbage
This is a really quick and easy meal to prepare. Buying canned corned beef is very foreign to most Americans. Canned corned beef is eaten in a lot of African, Caribbean, and South American cuisines. Have you ever eaten canned corned beef hash? The corned beef in the hash is the same stuff we are going to use to make this recipe. The brand that I like to use is called Exeter, made in South America. Make sure to taste this before adding salt at the end because different cans of corned beef have different levels of saltiness to them.
