WONDERFUL WINTER VEGETABLE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Wash and peel the carrots, potatoes, parsnips and rutabaga.
• Cut all the veggies on a diagonal into thin slices.
• I start this in a large Teflon pan with tight fitting cover, on the stove top to get some caramelization on the veggies and to bring out the flavors (about 15 minutes on med-high heat).
• Then I transfer into a corning ware square casserole dish and cover and cook in the oven (about 20 minutes or until tender and crumbs are browned).
• In a large pan heat oil and 1 tablespoon butter and sauté garlic for one minute.
• Layer the veggies; potatoes, carrots, turnips, rutabaga and onions into pan.
• Sprinkle with salt, pepper, sugar and orange juice and toss to distribute all the flavors.
• Cook covered over med-high heat (this steams them as browning is taking place).
• When bottom layer is just getting color, remove cover and begin to move the next layers up, cover again and keep rotating the vegetables until all have a chance to caramelize a bit.
• Remove from heat and toss with parsley and thyme and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
• Spoon vegetables gently into a buttered casserole dish.
• Cover with seasoned breadcrumbs and melted tablespoon of butter.
• Place casserole into a 350 degree oven- covered for 10 minutes; remove cover and let crumbs brown- 10 minutes.
• We like our vegetables with a little bite; not very soft.
• Pass a long fork into the casserole to test done-ness and this will determine the length of cooking time for you.

IRISH COLCANNON (WINTER VEGETABLE CASSEROLE)

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes and parsnips in water until tender.

• Drain the potatoes, season with mace, garlic, salt and pepper, and beat well.
• Add the cooked leeks and milk (be careful not to break down the leeks too much).
• Finally, blend in the kale or cabbage and butter.
• The texture should be that of a smooth-buttery potato with well distributed pieces of leek and kale.
• Garnish with parsley.
• Colcannon is also made by cooking layered vegetables, starting with potatoes, in a slow-cooker during the day.
