  1. Place all of the ingredients into a large pot and just cover with cold water. (Do not add salt as the crubeens are already quite salty.)
  2. Bring to the boil over a high heat, then turn to medium and simmer for 3-4 hours until the meat is falling off the bones.
  3. Remove the meat to a board and shred it using two forks.

MAKE IT YOURS:

  • Make a fresh spring greens soup and stir in shredded crubeens.
  • Add to pasta bakes, risotto, baked mac ‘n’ cheese or a chicken and leek pie.
  • Stir through colcannon for a delicious flavour and texture.
  • For crispy crubeen croquettes, add some softened onions and some seasoning to the shredded meat. Place the mixture in a rough log shape in the centre of a piece of cling film and roll up into a sausage, twisting the ends. Chill in the fridge for 3-4 hours, then slice into 1cm circles. Coat in flour, egg and breadcrumbs, then fry until golden and crispy.
