This is a hearty tasty meal, good for chilly nights. Kale is one of our favorite greens, especially over the cold months, as it continues to grow, and even tastes better after a frost.
Serving Size: 4
Ingredients:
- 1 box of Vegan Sausages (7 or 8 sausages)
- 500 grams potatoes, peeled and boiled
- 500 gram kale, washed and chopped
- 2 large onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1/4 cup vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- salt & pepper to taste

Directions:
- Wash and peel the potatoes and boil.

- Saute the onions in the oil.

- When the potatoes are cooked, drain them and add to the kale.

I first had Colcannon when I visited friends in County Donegal, Ireland. I absolutely fell in love with it!
I’ve only made it with cabbage, so I’m looking forward to trying it with kale. I’m so glad I found your site!
Thanks.

I love Colcannon, and you reminded me it’s totally the time of year for that again!
P.S.: Spell-check says “colcannon is not a word” XD
