I grew up eating this boiled dinner on Sundays when I visited my Irish granny. One thing that makes this recipe special is that it calls for a smoked shoulder instead of corned beef. Oh, what a yummy smell will fill your kitchen as this cooks!

Ingredients

3 pounds smoked pork shoulder
salt and pepper to taste
6 potatoes, peeled
1 large head cabbage, quartered
2 large onions, quartered
1/2 pound carrots, cut in half
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed

Directions

Place smoked pork shoulder into a large pot and add enough water to cover. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 30 minutes.
Add potatoes, cabbage, onions, and carrots to the pot and continue to simmer. Tie green beans into a bundle with kitchen string. Add to the pot, re-cover, and cook until carrots and potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes.
To serve, transfer pork to a serving dish and arrange vegetables all around. Let pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
