For added flavor, consider using a spice packet that often comes with the corned beef brisket, or make your own with mustard seeds, peppercorns, and bay leaves. If you'd like to incorporate more vegetables, potatoes or parsnips can be delicious additions. Adjust the water amount based on how much liquid you prefer in the final dish.
