Low-Carb Colcannon
Colcannon is an Irish mashed potato dish that is typically mixed with greens and sometimes cabbage. This low-carb creamy cauliflower mash version uses cauliflower in place of potatoes and added kale. I’ve also seen this dish with bacon, and most often topped with a knob of butter.
This is a great side dish to Corned Beef and Cabbage, Fig Balsamic Pork Tenderloin, Garlic Lover’s Roast Beef or any type of roast.
This side dish is also perfect for any potluck or Thanksgiving holiday and it’s ready in just 30 minutes. You seriously don’t even miss the potatoes. On top of that, I also just really love using cauliflower in place of potatoes because it’s a superfood. It is super rich in nutrients with vitamins B and C, high in fiber and also provides antioxidants. These alone wreak so many benefits like gut health and digestion, weight loss, memory.
