Butter Bean Colcannon. image

I love colcannon (or bubble and squeak) but it wasn't allowed on my low GI diet so I came up with this. Very different to what you may have tried but very yummy. My mum likes to put a poached egg on top of her colcannon, I guess that would work here too.

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

400 g butter beans
vegetable stock, enough to cover the bean
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fromage frais
2 tablespoons olive oil
100 g sliced onions
100 g shredded green cabbage
1 garlic clove, crushed
25 ml water
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce

Steps:

  • Drain and rinse the beans. Put them in a saucepan with the stock. Bring to the boil and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
  • Mash the beans with fromage frais and mustard and set to one side.
  • Heat one tbsp olive oil and soften the onion over a low heat.
  • Add cabbage, garlic, water and soy sauce. Simmer, covered for 10 minutes until the cabbage is soft. Keep stirring to make sure the ingredients do not stick.
  • Pour the cabbage/onion mix over the butterbean mash and mix well.
  • Heat the remaining oil and add the mash. Flatten into a "cake" and place under the grill to brown the top.
