  • 1/4 Cup Salted Butter
  • 1 Tbsp. Diced Garlic
  • 1 Chopped Leek About 1 Cup
  • 1 Small Green Cabbage About 4 Cups
  • 1 Cup Chopped Kale
  • 1 Cup Cream
  • 1/4 Cup Salted Butter
  • 1 Package Cream Cheese Or 8 oz.
  • Sea Salt & Pepper
  • 2 Cups Grated White Cheddar Cheese
  • 1/4 Cup Chopped Parsley

Instructions
 

Prepare Vegetables

  • Fit a large pot with a steamer basket and place 1-2 cups of water into the bottom of the pot. Put the peeled mixed rutabaga, cauliflower, turnips, kohlrabi on the basket. Cover the pot with a lid.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and steam for 15-20 minutes, or until the veggies are fork-tender.
  • Drain the veggies and allow them to dry for a few minutes.

Prepare the Greens

  • While the veggies are steaming, melt 1/4 cup of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tablespoon of garlic and leeks and sautee them until heated through.
  • Add the green cabbage and 1 cup of kale to the pan and sautee for about 5-10 minutes, or until soft and slightly crispy.

Mash the Veggies

  • Mash the steamed veggies with a potato masher.
  • Warm the 1 cup of cream, 1 package of cream cheese, and 1/4 cup of butter until the cream cheese and butter are melted. Stir and press the cream cheese to speed the process.
  • Add the dairy mixture to the veggie mixture and whip with a large spoon until smooth and creamy.
  • Fold the cabbage mixture into the veggie mixture until thoroughly integrated. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Heat & Serve

  • Place the colcannon mixture into a baking dish and top with the 2 cups of cheese. Place into the oven under a low broil for 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Top with chopped parsley and serve hot.
