Vegan Colcannon for St. Patrick’s Day

Gluten-free· Side Dish· Soy-free

Jump to Recipe

Today I’m sharing a Vegan Colcannon recipe from Hannah Kaminsky’s brand new book, Real Food Really Fast.

It just happens to be perfect for Saint Patrick’s Day or any day you want a hearty veggie mash studded with greens.

For me that is everyday!

Vegan Cruciferous Colcannon for St. Patrick's Day

The Cruciferous Colcannon is a mash of cabbage, kale, cauliflower, and broccoli. It’s naturally gluten-free and soy-free.

Make it oil-free by water sautéing instead of using the oil. It’s been delicious every way I’ve tried it.

This recipe is from Hannah Kaminsky’s book Real Food, Real Fast. I got to know Hannah a few years ago on my Northwest tour.

She joined halfway and we quickly became friends. Of course, sharing a room in an odd hotel brings people together fast.

There were good times too, especially all the vegan restaurants we ate in and the most wonderful day at a farmers market. Thanks, Hannah!

Real Food, Really Fast: Delicious Plant-Based Recipes Ready in 10 Minutes or Less by Hannah Kaminsky

Hannah’s known for her dessert recipes, but she made some amazingly fast and delicious savory recipes in this book.

If you’re new to being vegan or just need to get dinner on your table in a flash, you are going to want a copy of this book!

Some of the recipes that are on my to-try list:

  • Tofu Shakshuka
  • Silky Matcha Miso Soup
  • Artichoke Barbacoa
  • Sausage Gumbo Burgers

Now I’m sure you’re hungry, so go make her Cruciferous Colcannon and let me know how you like it in the comments.

Vegan Cruciferous Colcannon from Real Food, Really Fast by Hannah Kaminsky

Hannah Kaminsky
For a delicious twist on the Irish staple, mashed broccoli and cauliflower join forces with kale, cabbage, and horseradish in this harmonious family reunion. They're all cruciferous vegetables, and all pitch-perfect when singing together as a modern ode to the beloved Emerald Isle staple. It will be hard to go back to plain old mashed potatoes once this fresh blend has graced your table.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 Cups Stemmed and Chopped Kale
  • 2 Cups Shredded Savoy or Green Cabbage
  • 3 Scallions Thinly Sliced
  • 1/2 Pound Frozen Cauliflower Thawed
  • 1/2 Pound Frozen Broccoli Thawed
  • 1/4 Cup Vegetable Stock
  • 1 Tablespoon Nutritional Yeast
  • 2 Teaspoons Freshly Grated Horseradish
  • 3/4 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1/8 Teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • Vegan Butter to Serve (Optional)

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the kale and cabbage in handfuls, stirring until wilted down enough to comfortably accommodate all the green. 
  • Toss in the scallions and sauté for two more minutes to soften. Introduce the cauliflower and broccoli next, along with the vegetable stock. 
  • Cook for 4 – 5 minutes, until the vegetables are fork-tender.
  • Remove the vegetables from the heat and roughly mash with a potato masher. 
  • Add in the nutritional yeast, horseradish, salt, and nutmeg, stirring, folding, and mashing until the whole mixture is completely combined.

    Is there any reason to use frozen cauliflower and broccoli when fresh taste so much better?

      I’m sure you can use either.

      I called for frozen here to speed up the prep time. You’re welcome to use fresh instead!

    What should I use instead of fresh horseradish? I don’t think our stores have those in the produce department.

      I would use bottled or prepared horseradish.

    If I use fresh instead of frozen, do I use the same amount, 1/2 pound each?

      I would use a little less since it won’t have the same water content.
