Dairy-Free Keto Colcannon – Meat Free Keto

Spring is correct across the nook, which implies so is Paddy’s day, and what higher method to get into the spirit than with this dairy-free, keto model of colcannon. This model makes use of cauliflower as an alternative of potatoes, however you possibly can additionally use celeriac for a barely starchier model that has a couple of extra carbs. I hope you get pleasure from this dish – in the event you make it for Saint Patrick’s Day (or simply for dinner on a daily evening), I’d love to listen to about it within the feedback!

Colcannon (or cál ceannann, which implies “white-headed cabbage”) is a standard Irish dish and is one thing that I actually grew up consuming. I’ve lived nearly my complete life outdoors of Boston, the place about 60% of the inhabitants has Irish heritage. My mother’s aspect of the household is just about completely got here from Eire, so household gatherings have at all times concerned numerous cabbage and potatoes.

This model of the traditional Irish dish replaces the starchy and carb-heavy potatoes with cauliflower. I do know, I do know…each keto potato dish does this, however I promise, this dish remains to be satisfying and filling, even with out the potatoes. Conventional colcannon makes use of both kale or cabbage, and I’ve elected to make use of kale right here. You may actually use whichever you’d like, although. Usually, colcannon makes use of numerous butter, however you possibly can use a non-dairy butter substitute or oil and extra salt. I often like to make use of both a do-it-yourself buttery unfold (the recipe is in my first cookbook, however I’ll publish it right here quickly!) or a store-bought one like Miyoko’s, which is made solely of complete meals substances with none industrial oils.

Notes on Making Dairy-Free Keto Colcannon (vegan, gluten-free, low-carb)

• So as to add extra protein to this dish, you possibly can combine in tempeh or tofu bacon, as bacon is usually added to conventional colcannon.
• Like I discussed above, in the event you’d wish to make this dish a bit of starchier and aren’t tremendous involved with carbs, you may substitute the cauliflower with an equal measure of celeriac (celery root).
• The model of non-dairy “butter” I like greatest is Miyoko’s, which is created from complete meals substances, and doesn’t embody any industrial oils. You could possibly additionally use olive or avocado oil – simply make sure you salt the recipe a bit greater than you usually would to make up for the lacking salted butter.
• You need to use both kale or cabbage to make this recipe. Remember to de-stem your kale, although!
• I used a blender to whip the cauliflower up easily, however an immersion blender or giant meals processor must also work simply tremendous.
• Remember to drain the cauliflower totally after steaming – that is going to verify the dish doesn’t get too watery. Cauliflower mash will be fairly disagreeable when it’s too soupy.
• To calculate web carbs – subtract the grams of fiber, allulose from the entire grams of carbohydrates within the recipe. For this recipe, that’s 7g whole carbs – 3.1g fiber = 3.9g web carbs.
• Whereas I attempt to offer correct vitamin info, there are variations throughout manufacturers and forms of substances. So, in the event you’re utilizing different manufacturers than these talked about, your macros could also be totally different. All vitamin data is calculated from the USDA values for every ingredient, except a model is particularly talked about (or no generic itemizing is on the market), and are for info functions solely!
