**Creamy potato dish with cabbage and ham that's low fat and low calories too!** I love Colcannon....well anything potato actually.... but am watching the weight so I put this together along with some left-over pre cooked old fashioned smoked ham. We love it! Hope you do too. :) Ingredients:
5 medium potatoes |
1 onion, chopped |
1/4-1/2 cup skim milk |
4 tablespoons 4% low-fat cheese |
1 cup diced ham |
2 cups chopped cabbage |
salt & pepper |
paprika (if you dare) or cayenne pepper (if you dare) |
cooking spray (i use the olive oil one) |
Directions:
1. Boil potatoes . Partially boil cabbage at the same time as potatoes, in separate pot.
2. Mash potatoes adding milk, cheese, onion, salt and pepper. Mix in a large bowl with ham and half cooked chopped cabbage.
3. If you prefer it not quite so creamy just use 1/4 cup of skim milk.
4. Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray and lightly line with a few cooked cabbage leaves. Plop in mixture, sprinkle with paprika or cayenne and cover.
5. Warm in 200-250 degree oven for approximately 1 hour or more. If you keep it in longer, keep your eye out that it doesn`t burn or get dry.I`ve had mine in for two hours and it was fine.
6. Just before you`re ready to pop it out of the oven, turn on the broiler, take off the lid and give it a wee bit of browning on top.
7. This can also be done on the stove top fried in some butter or this way with the left-overs - yumm - but beware of the added fat and calories!
8. 1 cup = 129 calories and 1.6 grams of fat.
