Instructions

Main Dish: Crock Pot Corned Beef and Vegetables

1. Prepare the Corned Beef
- Place the 2 lbs corned beef brisket in the Crock Pot. Add the spice packet that comes with the beef, ensuring even distribution over the brisket.

2. Add Vegetables
- Arrange the cabbage wedges, potato quarters, and cauliflower florets around the corned beef.

3. Season and Cook
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of mixed spices over the vegetables for an aromatic infusion. Squeeze the juice of 2 lemons over the dish.
- Cover and cook on low heat for PT8H (8 hours) or until the corned beef is tender and vegetables are cooked through.

4. Serve
- Carefully remove the corned beef and vegetables from the Crock Pot. Slice the beef thinly against the grain and serve with a generous helping of the vegetables.

Dessert: Blueberry Lemon Crisp

1. Prepare the Blueberries
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries, zest of 1 lemon, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/4 cup sugar. Mix until blueberries are well coated.

2. Create the Topping
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup crumbled brownies, 1/4 cup rolled oats, and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Stir until the mixture is crumbly.

3. Assemble and Bake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Transfer the blueberry mixture to a small baking dish. Sprinkle the brownie-oat crumble topping evenly over the blueberries.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbling, fragrant with citrus and chocolate notes.

4. Serve
- Allow to cool slightly before serving warm. A scoop of vanilla ice cream can enhance this dessert beautifully.
