Rumbledethump

This may have an unusual name but this is a wonderful recipes that originates from Scotland. A great friend of mine ( I was living in Spain at the time ) used to make this recipe very often and I never got to ask for the recipe. This is my adaptation and I think it tastes just as good. Although this can be served as a side dish I think this is one of the most heavenly comfort foods. There is nothing better than sitting in front of the TV with steaming hot bowl of Rumbledethumps and a warming beverage. Sometimes it’s the simple ingredients that make for some amazing dishes.

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius ( 400 F ) Gas Mark 6.

1 Begin by putting the potatoes on to boil. They need to be boiled until tender so that they can be mashed, and so do not overcook.

2 Meanwhile, in a pan with a tablespoon of water, gently cook the cabbage  until it starts to soften. If the pan starts to get too dry continue adding a spoon of water until the cabbage is tender. This should take 5-6 minutes.

3 Place the cooked potatoes in a bowl and add the margarine. Mash gently so as not to make it too smooth and then add the cabbage or greens.

4 Mix in all of the other ingredients and place in an ovenproof dish. Drizzle with olive oil and cook for 20-25 minutes until slightly golden and serve.
