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

3
pounds
salt and pepper to taste
potatoes, peeled
6
cabbage, quartered
1
large head
onions, quartered
2
large
carrots, cut in half
1/2
pound

1
pound
 Place smoked ham or pork shoulder into a large pot and add enough water to cover. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce 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.
