Ingredients

1.5 kilogram piece corned silve side

2 small brown onions, thinly sliced

1 medium carrot, chopped

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

8 whole cloves

2 tablespoon brown sugar

500 gram potatoes, cut into 2cm pieces

400 gram cauliflower, cut into florets

25 gram butter

1/3 cup cream

2 tablespoon cornflour

1 1/2 cup milk

1 1/2 tablespoon wholegrain mustard

1/4 cup finely chopped flatleaf parsley

steamed green beans, to serve

Method

1.Place silverside, onion, carrot, vinegar, cloves and sugar in a large, heavy-based saucepan.

2.Cover with cold water. Bring to the boil over moderate heat. Reduce heat; cover partially.

3.Simmer for 1 hour 30 minutes, skimming surface occasionally with a large metal spoon to remove and discard fat.

4.Meanwhile, place potato and cauliflower in a steaming basket over simmering water. Steam 10-12 minutes, or until tender; drain. Transfer to a heatproof bowl. Add butter and cream; mash until almost smooth. Season with salt.

5.Place cornflour in a small saucepan; gradually whisk in milk. Cook and stir over moderate heat until mixture boils and thickens. Remove from heat; stir in mustard and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.

6.Stand silverside 10 minutes before slicing thinly. Spoon mash onto serving plates. Top with silverside; drizzle with sauce. Serve with beans.

Make sure cooking liquid for corned beef is simmering gently, as boiling liquid will make beef tough.
