- 4 slices pancetta
- 250 gr classic mashed potato see the potato mash recipe here
- 100 gr savoy cabbage Chinese cabbage or kale, sliced thinly
- 30 gr spring onion finely sliced
- 1 handfull julienned parsley
- Salt and pepper
- 8 pieces prawns head and shell off, lightly grilled in pancetta fat and chopped
You can cook the pancetta by placing pancetta onto an oven tray and roast over medium heat until crispy or cook it in a non-stick pan over medium heat until crispy.
Place on kitchen wipes in a roasting tray to absorb excess oil. When cool enough to touch, break up the pancetta into small pieces.
In a non-stick pan over medium heat, add a tablespoon of butter and olive oil and then as it foams add the cabbage or kale and stir until wilted. Add a little seasoning and remove from heat.
Over low heat, start stirring the mash and add the cabbage, then the pancetta, prawns and half of the spring onions and parsley.
Add extra butter and seasoning as needed and remove from heat, keeping the colcannon in a warm place in the kitchen.
