I have to admit it, I have been so caught up in training for the L.A. Marathon that I almost forgot that this coming Wednesday is St. Patty’s Day! YAY!
And we all know what that means right? That’s right- we can finally make some of our favorite dishes! ;0)
Here is a great vegan recipe for Colcannon Potatoes and Cabbage from About.com!
Colcannon is a traditional Irish side dish. Try making this recipe for St. Patrick’s Day, or any day that you are longing for a wee taste of Ireland.
Ingredients:
- water for boiling
- 5 large potatoes
- 1 head green cabbage, chopped
- 3 leeks, sliced
- 1 cup 8th Continent Original Soy Milk
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
- salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
Place potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook for at least 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
In a separate pot, boil the cabbage in water for 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In another pot or skillet, cook leeks in soy milk until tender, about 15 minutes.
When potatoes are done cooking, mash them together with leeks, soy milk, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Add cabbage and stir to combine. Add more salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!
