New England Boiled Dinner

Monday, November 17th, 2008

4 lb (to 5) lb (approx. 2 kg) corned beef
10 medium-sized beets, peeled
3 parsnips, peeled and cut into large pieces

2 medium onions, peeled and quartered and cooked with the meat
2 bay leaves
1 tsp salt
10 (or more to taste) black peppercorns
1 peeled clove garlic, chopped
4 whole cloves
