      The traditional St. Patty’s meal of Corned Beef & Cabbage while tasty, it isn’t really waistline friendly.  Corned beef is a brisket, typically a fattier cut of meat and its also salted.

      To eliminate some of the fat & salt in cooking, you can boil it in water & change the water midway through cooking. Throwing in a few potatoes will also extract some of the salt (just don’t add them to the meal).

      Alternatively, you can roast it on a rack in the oven allowing the fat to drip away during cooking. Be sure to look for lean, low sodium cuts of corn beef when you’re shopping and trim all fat before cooking. And of course, watching your portion size is important when enjoying corned beef.
