Description
In Ireland, a bowl of colcannon is the essence of home and coziness — pure comfort. It's basically mashed potatoes with cooked cabbage or kale mixed in. The brassica component is essential, as is plenty of butter with onion, leeks, or Irish bacon added at the cook's discretion. Colcannon is filling enough to serve as a one-dish supper, but it also makes a lovely side with ham or roasted chicken.For this kale version, we introduce smoky, caramelized flavors by using applewood smoked salt and browning the onions. To wake the flavors up, this colcannon is finished with a generous pinch of coarsely ground voatsiperifery black pepper, which adds sparkling notes of citrus and pine along with a little kick of heat.
