Grilled Irish Colcannon-Stuffed Mushrooms

Introduction

Grilled Irish Colcannon-Stuffed Mushrooms combine the heartiness of mashed potatoes with the savory, smoky flavor of grilled portobello mushrooms. Colcannon is a traditional Irish dish made with creamy potatoes and greens—this grilled version on the Arteflame grill transforms it into an irresistible meal with a perfect golden sear. The griddle cooktop ensures even heat and maximum flavor absorption without burning.

Ingredients

• 6 large portobello mushroom caps, cleaned with stems removed
• 2 cups mashed potatoes (prepared on the grill)
• 1 cup shredded green cabbage or kale
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 green onions, chopped
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup grated Irish cheddar cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the center of the Arteflame grill.
2. Stack firewood over the soaked napkins and light the paper.
3. Allow the grill to preheat for about 20 minutes until the flat cooktop is evenly heated.

Step 2: Make the Colcannon Filling

1. On the flat cooktop, melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
2. Add the shredded cabbage or kale and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Stir in the garlic and green onions, cooking for another minute.
4. Mix the cooked greens into the mashed potatoes and season with salt and pepper.

Step 3: Grill the Mushrooms

1. Lightly butter the mushroom caps and season them with salt and pepper.
2. Place the mushrooms gill-side down on the griddle cooktop, closer to the outer edge where heat is lower.
3. Grill for about 5 minutes until softened.
4. Flip the mushrooms gill-side up and grill for another 3 minutes.

Step 4: Stuff and Finish Cooking the Mushrooms

1. Spoon the colcannon mixture into each grilled mushroom cap.
2. Sprinkle grated Irish cheddar cheese on top.
3. Move the stuffed mushrooms closer to the hotter center area of the flat cooktop.
4. Cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5 minutes.
5. Remove from the grill and top with fresh parsley.

Tips

• Use homemade mashed potatoes prepared on the Arteflame for maximum flavor.
• Grill mushrooms at a lower heat zone to prevent burning while allowing them to soften.
• For extra richness, add a small pat of butter on top before serving.
