Colcannon is a traditional Irish dish that dates back centuries. Originally, it was made with mashed potatoes and either kale or cabbage, making it a practical meal for farmers who grew both crops. Today, it is still a beloved dish in Ireland and other parts of the world, and is often served alongside bacon or corned beef. The oven-braised corned beef brisket in this recipe is tender and flavorful, making it the perfect accompaniment to the creamy and hearty colcannon.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 325°F.
2.In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
3.Add the onions, carrots, and bay leaves and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
4.Add the corned beef brisket, Guinness stout, beef stock, and pickling spices to the pot. Bring to a boil and then cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the oven.
5.Cook for 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
6.In a separate pot, bring the vegetable stock to a boil. Add the potatoes and 1 tablespoon of salt to the pot. Boil for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
7.In a large skillet, melt 5 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced cabbage and white pepper to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the cabbage is wilted and slightly browned.
8.Drain the potatoes and then add them to the skillet with the cabbage. Mash the potatoes and cabbage together, and then stir in the heavy cream and chopped scallions.
9.Serve the colcannon alongside the oven-braised corned beef brisket and top with the chopped parsley and thyme. Serve with a dollop of creamed horseradish, if desired.
