Irish Stew With Colcannon Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the cooked beef into cubes, the carrots into slices, and the onion into wedges and set aside.
• Cut the baking potato into cubes (can leave the peel on if it is a British potato).
• Put the stout, the water, and the bouillon cubes into a large pot and set the temperature to high.
• Place the carrots and the potato into the pot and let it boil for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Turn the heat down to less than a simmer and add the onion and beef.
• Add the brown sugar and blend.
• Cook on low for at least 30 minutes covered, but longer is better as it gives a chance for the flavors to come together.
• Colcannon:.
• Boil and mash the two potatoes in a medium sized bowl.
• Cut the leek into small pieces (or the onion) and saute with the cabbage until slightly wilted.
• Combine the mashed potatoes and the leek/cabbage in the bowl.
• Add the sour cream and blend everything together.
• Add mustard seed and salt and mix.
• Heat in oven or in microwave prior to serving with the stew.
• For plating - Dish up the stew and put a large spoonful of colcannon in the middle.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes, cabbage, and green onions into a large sauce pan, fill with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Drain the vegetables and place into a large bowl. Mash the potatoes and vegetables with the butter using a fork until the mixture is chunky, pouring in half-and-half gradually as you mash. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender.
• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, reserving drippings, crumble and set aside. In the reserved drippings, saute the cabbage and onion until soft and translucent. Putting a lid on the pan helps the vegetables cook faster.
• Drain the cooked potatoes, mash with milk and season with salt and pepper. Fold in the bacon, cabbage, and onions, then transfer the mixture to a large serving bowl. Make a well in the center, and pour in the melted butter. Serve immediately.
