Servings: 6
Author: Pamela

Ingredients

  • 1 medium-large head of cauliflower preferably green, about 2 ¼ pounds, cut into florets (about 5 cups)
  • 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • kosher salt
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter + more for serving
  • 1 bunch kale stripped and chopped
  • 2 scallions sliced
  • Sea salt
  • 5 Chives chopped

Instructions

  • Place cauliflower, potatoes and a big pinch of kosher salt in a large pot and add enough water to come just below the top of the vegetables.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat and then lower to a simmer. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
  • In the meantime, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and scallions to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute. Add the kale, 3/4 cup water, and season with a pinch of salt. Cook until kale is tender and all of the water has evaporated, about 10 minutes.
  • Drain cauliflower and potatoes and transfer to the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and process until it forms a chunky puree. Stop the mixer. Add the cooked kale mixture and mix until just combined. Taste for seasoning.
  • Transfer colcannon to a serving dish. Form a well in the center of the mixture and add a Tablespoon of butter. Garnish with chives and serve.
