Winter Greens And Potato Casserole Recipes

IRISH COLCANNON (WINTER VEGETABLE CASSEROLE)

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes and parsnips in water until tender.
• While these are cooking, chop leeks (greens as well as whites) and simmer in the milk until soft.
• Next, cook the kale or cabbage and have warm and well chopped.
• Drain the potatoes, season with mace, garlic, salt and pepper, and beat well.
• Add the cooked leeks and milk (be careful not to break down the leeks too much).
• Finally, blend in the kale or cabbage and butter.
• The texture should be that of a smooth-buttery potato with well distributed pieces of leek and kale.
• Garnish with parsley.
• Colcannon is also made by cooking layered vegetables, starting with potatoes, in a slow-cooker during the day.
• Drain vegetables, blend with milk and margarine as above and garnish with parsley.

WINTER GREENS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in salted water for 5-7 minutes until tender. Remove with a strainer, reserving cooking liquid.
