My husband and I honeymooned in Ireland 36 years ago and almost didn't leave. We seriously were considering how to make a life for ourselves there. Ultimately, family drew us home.
But my love for Ireland has persisted.
And when March rolls around, I start wanting my soda bread scones and tea.
You can find that post here.
This year I've been amused to see Starbucks with Irish Cream Cold Brew
and Pepperidge Farm bringing out the Irish in cookies.
First they had the Irish Cream Milanos at Christmas,
and today I discovered Dublin shortbread.
Instead of sharing something I've cooked today, I'm sharing some recipes from other websites for Irish Colcannon.
Colcannon is a mix of potatoes and either cabbage or kale.
The Food Network has a recipe for the cabbage Colcannon.
Simply Recipes makes theirs with kale - Colcannon
Both include potatoes and lots of butter and cream. It's not something we could eat every day, but once a year, it makes a lovely meal.
Today I found a new version that appealed to me - Colcannon Soup.
With leeks, potatoes, and cabbage - imagine pairing it with some nice Irish brown bread for a lovely warm meal when the March winds howl.
What do you think?
