 | Colcannon RecipeColcannon is a traditional Irish dish similar to "Bubble and Squeak". Any leftover vegetables could be added or substituted if you desire. Single cream makes this dish irresistible but milk can be used instead for a lighter result.
Peel and quarter the potatoes, place them in a large saucepan of cold salted water. Bring to the boil and cook the potatoes for 15 to 20 minutes or until they're tender. Drain thoroughly and mash with a fork, or mashing tool. Shred the cabbage and c ook in a medium pan of boiling salted water for 10 to 12 minutes. Drain the cabbage thoroughly, add the butter, finely sliced spring onions and freshly milled black pepper and stir through. Return to the heat for 2 to 4 minutes. Gently warm the cream in a small saucepan or jug in the microwave. Combine the cabbage mixture with the hot mashed potatoes and enough warmed cream to give a creamy texture. Add salt to taste. Serve immediately topped with an extra knob of butter, and plenty of freshly chopped parsley. (Serves 4) All content and images copyright © 1998 - 2008 Cuisine du Monde |
