Saint Patrick’s Day is this Monday.

Foodland Ontario‘s Teresa Makarewicz is here with a great dish to get into the spirit of the day. Teresa also answers the questions What is colcannon and can you make the stew or colcannon the day before?

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 lb (750 g) Ontario Russet Potatoes
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) salt
  • 2 tbsp (25 mL) unsalted butter
  • 5 cups (1.25 L) coarsely chopped Ontario Green Cabbage
  • 1  Ontario Shallot, minced
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) skim milk
  • Pepper (optional)

Preparation

Peel potatoes and cut into quarters; place in medium saucepan.  Pour in just enough cold water to cover; add 1/2 tsp (2 mL) of the salt.  Cover and bring to boil; reduce heat to medium and cook until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain.

Meanwhile, in medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat.  Add cabbage and shallot; stir until well coated.  Cover with tight-fitting lid; reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add milk; cover and simmer for 5 minutes.

Mash potatoes; add cabbage mixture and remaining salt.  Stir well.  Season with pepper, if using.
