VeganYumYum Colcannon

I while ago i made this recipe from the VeganYumYum app i have on my phone and it was so good! You can find the app on the app store or you can check out VeganYumYum.com they have tons of amazing vegan delicious good tasting recipes that are pretty easy to make. This dish is called Colcannon i had no idea what it meant so i googled it and all i know is that its a Irish dish, i think. Anyways it's a easy and quick recipe to make, i will have the ingredients below. I did not add nutritional yeast or thyme because i did not have it on hand and instead of garlic i added onion. I also want to say that it was my first time using seitan and I really liked the consistency of it and my mom got to try and she loved it.(usually she will not try anything vegan because she thinks it wont be good)

4 cups Chopped Potatoes
4 cloves Garlic, Minced (optional)
3 tbs Earth Balance margarine
4 cups Chopped kale
1 cup Chopped seitan
1 tsp Soy sauce
1 tbs Nutritional yeast (optional)
2-4 tbs Soy milk or soy creamer, warmed
3 sprigs Thyme, leaves only (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste


Chop your potatoes into 1″ cubes and bring them to a boil in some salted water. You can peel your potatoes if you like, but I keep the skins on for added flavor, texture, and nutritional value.
Meanwhile, add Earth Balance and garlic to the bottom of a pot. Cook until the margarine is melted and the garlic is fragrant, then add kale and toss well to coat.
Add seitan and soy sauce and cook over medium heat until kale is tender and reduced in size. If you think it’s cooked enough before the potatoes are finished, reduce heat to the lowest setting to keep the mixture and pot warm. When it comes time to add the potatoes, the warm pan will ensure they won’t get cold while finishing the dish.

Drain potatoes when they’re fork tender but not waterlogged.
Add well-drained potatoes to the warm kale and seitan mixture. Mash as you usually would. You can also rice or mill your potatoes directly into the warm pot; this prevents lumps if you worried about that kind of thing.
Mix in the nutritional yeast (if using), herbs, and 2 Tbs of the warmed soymilk.
Add more if needed for a smooth and creamy texture, but not so much it loses its fluffiness.
Add salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
