Channeling Colcannon

Three ingredients (plus salt) never tasted so good. It must be the upcoming St. Patrick's Day that made me want to dump this lot on a plate of mashed potatoes.

I'm thinking you can slavishly follow this recipe, or pick and choose among your fave ingredients. If you're living grill-less, skip the charring of the vegetables and use them raw.

Since then (actually before), I've been working on my glazed carrot technique (don't laugh). And while this recipe can't compare,Continue reading “Getting Closer Carrots”
