Gail Ciampa: Colcannon Soup with Parsley Pesto is a vegetarian alternative for St. Patrick's Day Comment By Gail Ciampa More Content Now DailyTidings.com By Gail Ciampa More Content Now Posted Mar. 16, 2015 at 7:10 AM By Gail Ciampa More Content Now Posted Mar. 16, 2015 at 7:10 AM » Social News Tomorrow is St. Patrick’s Day, and you don’t have to eat corned beef to celebrate. No you don’t. The wonderful Clodagh McKenna is here with another idea, a meatless one at that. It’s one of 150 recipes in her stunning new cookbook, “Clodagh’s Irish Kitchen” (Kyle Books, $29.95). It’s Colcannon Soup with Parsley Pesto. She writes, “This soup reinterprets the Irish classic ‘colcannon,’ a dish that is made of mashed potatoes and kale or cabbage. You could add some pulled pork or pancetta to this soup if you wish.” She says you can also use chicken stock. But, of course, we Meatless Monday folk know how unnecessary that is. McKenna, who studied at the famous Ballymaloe Cookery School, is a celebrity chef in Ireland. “Clodagh’s Irish Kitchen” is available where books are sold. Learn more about her, and her Irish television career, at clodaghmckenna.com. Colcannon Soup with Parsley Pesto 3 1/2 tablespoons butter 10 1/2 ounces potatoes, peeled and diced 3 1/2 ounces onions, peeled and diced 2 garlic cloves, crushed 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 3 1/3 cups hot vegetable stock 14 ounces savoy cabbage, sliced 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon half and half Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper For the parsley pesto 4 ounces flat-leaf parsley Scant 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil Scant 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted 1 garlic clove, crushed 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add the potatoes, onions, garlic and nutmeg and stir, then cover the pan with a lid. Reduce the heat to low and let sweat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the hot stock and bring the heat up to high. Let the onions and potatoes cook in the stock until they are completely soft, then add the cabbage — it will only take 5 minutes to cook. While the cabbage is cooking, in a food processor, place all the ingredients for the parsley pesto and blend until you have a smooth consistency. Set aside. When the cabbage has wilted, stir in the cream, then pour the soup into a blender and blitz until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. If necessary, return to the pan to warm through. To serve, pour the soup into bowls and garnish with a generous drizzle of the parsley pesto. Makes 6 servings. Gail Ciampa is food editor of The Providence (Rhode Island) Journal.
