Colcannon Bender

I'm on a colcannon bender! IRISH SOUL FOOD!! I used olive oil instead of cream and butter. It was excellent. And grated carrots for color. Irish flag colors! I added onion and garlic powder when short on time.

You can substitute extra virgin olive oil for the butter (in which case it will be more Mediterranean than Irish).

In Scotland, when made with cabbage, it is called rumpletythumps. It is a tradition at our house for every holiday. We sauté onions to add, as well as some grated cheddar.

This dish resembles an age-old Dutch dish called "boerenkool" stamppot.
