Blanched cabbage leaves are wrapped around some oven-roasted carrots or sweet potato, and some Colcannon or mashed potatoes. A quick, Guinness-infused tomato sauce is poured over and oven baked for a tasty Ireland-inspired meal.
Slice carrots into 6 inch sticks. Toss the carrot sticks in a mixture of vegan worcestershire sauce and a little oil. Sprinkle with smoky paprika. This will give them a richer flavour! Roast in oven until browned and tender, approximately 15 -20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
Peel the outer 7 or 8 leaves from a large head of green cabbage. I used the savoy type. In a large pot of boiling water, blanch the leaves for just a moment to soften them enough to roll. Remove any thick center pieces.
In the middle of each leaf, spoon approximately 1/4 cup of seasoned mashed potatoes or leftover Colcannon, into the center and lay a few pieces of roasted carrot. Roll up and place in a 9 x 13 inch pan.
Pour tomato sauce over all the rolls. Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
