Description

The Irish term 'colcannon' translates to 'cabbage'. In the Middle Ages, the poor prepared this dish year-round. It's easy to see why—the ingredients and preparation method are extremely simple. Nowadays, vegetable mash is typically served only during the season when the main ingredient—cabbage—is in harvest.

Ingredients

  • Potato 30 oz
  • Kale 5 oz
  • Scallions 0 oz
  • Butter 5 oz
  • Salt to taste
  • Ground Black Pepper to taste
