Irish colcannon,

what the HELL is that?

 

[Cheesypoof]

heres the chorizo stew one:


1 large chorizo, chopped,
1 large red onion, chopped
Bulb of garlic, minced
500g mushrooms
Two sweet potatoes
Sundried tomatoes
1 parsnip
Can tomatoes
Half bottle red wine
Mixed herbs

1. Chop up the chorizo and fry it slowly, along with the garlic and onion for about 10 mins - keep pan juices

2. Gradually add mushrooms, potatoes and parsnips, cook for about 20 mins on low heat.

3. Add can of tomatoes, and around half glass of water, also herbs

4. Eventually add wine, on and off, and let it simmer for about 35 mins till you have a stew-like consistency

5. Add shavings of parmesan and black pepper

What is a farmyard mushroom?

 

[Cheesypoof]

what the HELL is that?

its bacon and cabbage, with the cabbage cooked in the water with the bacon, which is left steaming in sealed plastic till it bursts in the water making it all salty. mmmmm.

 

[crustychick]

how funny - I do a gourmet veggie lasagne with organic field mushrooms, and gourmet glamorgan sausages with authentic welsh leeks. I also do a vegan haggis when I can catch one of the little buggers...

No it's not. It's potatoes mashed with cabbage or kale. Bacon often features too. Also known as champ.

I mistrust the word "gourmet" more than any other that is regularly applied to food. Even more than "traditional" or "Finest*.

there are tonnes of versions of colcannon, and wiki isnt the only one. I am irish and no one uses kale at home.

Thats a HELL of a lot of wine for not many other ingredients, isn't it?

Yes but it is basically a form of mashed potatoes, no?

that sounds good, mash with cabbage or spinach in it, and some bacon. mmmm

"The Dutch also have a dish that is similar called stamppot boerenkool,"

now i'd like to go somewhere and order that

 

[Chairman Meow]

I would say colcannon= spuds and cabbage, and champ=spuds and scallions.

and where does bubble 'n squeak fit in all that?

 

[Chairman Meow]

I don't really know - colcannon and champ are Irish dishes, but bubble n squeak is English? So I'm not sure about the bubble I'm afraid.

 

[selamlar]

Bubble and squeak is basically potato, cabbage and onion, plus whatever else you happen to find lying around.

 

[Kanda]

Isn't the bubble a fried egg on top??

so if you find some heroin laying about you just throw it in?

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I tend not to sign my name in any of my food.

 

[Ms T]

Bubble and squeak is made up of leftover potatoes, greens etc and fried, afaik.

 

[quimcunx]

I would never grace anything I cooked with a label 'signature dish'.

 

[Biddlybee]

I thought it was referring to the potato and cabbage.

 

[Biddlybee]

Doesn't signature denote 'one'?
Tis quite a few dishes to be good at though!

 

[rutabowa]

quite right... and it is irish too, as far as i know

 

[Maurice Picarda]

It certainly shouldn't be applied to more than one, unless you're a credit card fraudster.

I've already been nasty to the OP about "gourmet", haven't I? Oh dear.
