Colcannon #1 Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
1 lb curly kale or cabbage, cooked
1 lb potatoes, cooked
1 onion, chopped
1 oz dripping per lb. vegetables
1 salt and pepper
1 milk if necessary
1 ring, wrapped in greaseproof paper
Recipe Preparation
Mash the potatoes or pass them through a food mill. Chop the cabbage
or kale and add it to the potatoes. Mix well. Peel and chop the
onion. Melt a little of the dripping in a large, heavy frying pan and
cook the onion in it. Remove and mix with the potato and cabbage.
Season to taste, and stir in a little milk if the mixture is too
stiff. Add the rest of the dripping to the hot pan and, when very
hot, turn the potato and cabbage mixture into the pan and spread it
out. Fry until brown, then cut it roughly and continue frying until
there are lots of crisp brown pieces. Just before serving, slip in
the wrapped ring ~- the trick, as you can see from the rhyme, is to
make sure the ring doesn't turn up too soon -- then the children will
eat it all willingly!

Food Tips of the Week
Advice on losing weightMake sure that you drink enough fluids. Sometimes at some stage in a hectic work day, you feel you need food when in truth you may need a refreshing glass of water or cranberry juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are somewhat similar, but one of them ends in weight increase and the other one leads to no damage.
Some reduced carb diet pointers:
* Make reduced carbohydrate bread crumbs for deep fried foods. Whilst you can buy low carb bread crumbs, you may make them yourself by simply using low carb bread. Simply toast the low carb bread in a preheated oven on a cookie sheet. Once it is well toasted, process it in the food processor or blender. To store, keep in a tupperware container.
Lycopene rich foods
(includes grapefruit, red bell peppers and baby jackfruit)
Lycopene is a naturally occurring coloring agent and part of the same family of phytochemicals as carotene. Lycopene is the agent responsible for the deep red colour of a good number of natural foods.
Usefully, unlike numerous vitamins, lycopene is not damaged during the cooking process, but is observably made more effective by going through the cooking process.
. Its most valuable advantage is that it serves as an antioxidant and appears to be of use in the battle to reduce the probabilty of contracting cancer.
This useful phytochemical is the most efficacious eliminator of singlet oxygen, which is connected with aging of the skin. It's also thought by many researchers to prevent the development of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels.
