I am a generation removed from the homeland, only I remember that yous are describing bubble and squeak, which I e'er though was a separate dish. I've had both, I just never thought they were interchangeable - if only because of the troubles :)
Then I guess all those years growing up in Republic of ireland, my mum & granny were wrong! And the colcannon made the side by side day after a proper Dominicus joint of lamb or beef, every bit did most of my friends in the community wasn't proper. Equally I said, I never knew what corned beef was til I came to the United states. Remember how desperately the Irish were treated in Boston when they first came? And so the only meat available to them were the cheap cuts, such as brisket. Hence the invention of corned beefiness. It is still more an American thing than an Irish thing. We still had a side of bacon as a real treat for occasions such as St Patrick'south Mean solar day.
@usuba dashi That's dangerous footing you are treading! Bubble and squeak is a traditional English dish, as you said, made from leftovers of a ROAST dinner. Colcannon is completely dissimilar, an Irish dish prepared with fresh vegetables. I'm not certain how well the leftovers from a boiled dinner would concur up to such a preparation...
When I do cabbage, I ordinarily get the curly Savoy blazon as it seems to exist a chip sweeter. I cut into wedges, number will depend on how big the cabbage is, 1 wedge per person. I then steam the wedges until just tender. And then I heat a big saute pan over medium low heat add a tablespoon of butter, a flake of olive oil and some table salt. One time foamy, I'll add in the wedges, cut side downward to chocolate-brown on ane side. Plough and brown on the other. You get a wonderfully sugariness only non overdone cabbage this fashion. Works great with halved brussel sprouts, besides.
I dearest cooked cabbage, but non when it'due south limp and ghostly. And I figure since it's St. Patrick's 24-hour interval, the cabbage should be a vibrant green, so I steam it over the corned beef.
I cook the corned beefiness in my biggest pot with enough water to cover it until it's simply tender, however a teeny bit chewy. Then I remove it from the pot and let it to cool for a few minutes before slicing information technology into serving pieces. It goes dorsum into the lesser of the pot and is topped with a layer of whole carrots (two per person), a layer of whole modest cherry-red potatoes (2 or three per person, depending on the size of the person and the potato), whole dark-green beans (a scattering per person). I cutting the cabbage into sixths and identify it cut-side down into the pot, then set the lid slightly beveled over the pot. I bring the pot to a boil, and then lower the oestrus to medium. The level of the liquid in the pot should come to the potatoes, which allows the green beans and cabbage to steam in the aromatic vapor while the carrots and potatoes boil gently for about 20 minutes.
I'm making World'due south All-time Braised Cabbage from Molly Steven'southward Braising cookbook. It is truly the best and just near the just way I savor cooked cabbage. Information technology becomes tender and the edges carmelize.

Follow gulenay's suggestion and add together a piddling footing nutmeg. Colcannon, or for yous Brits, bubble & squeak, is ordinarily fabricated the side by side day with the left overs. Just, if yous a actually Irish, yous don't eat corned beef . . it is an American thing. Instead, a side of Irish salary or even better, salmon. I never knew what corned beef was til I came to the US
Colcannon is a traditional preparation (http://www.food52.com/recipes/10455_colcannon_mashed_potatoes_cabbage ). I've had it alongside our corned beefiness and cabbage every St. Patrick'southward day.
Slices the cabbage thin and add butter in a frying pan and stir fry the cabbage add a little flake of h2o and cook for 4mins
