SMASH OUT THE MASH
Place the potato pieces in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add a knob of butter (optional) and a splash of water or milk. Mash with a fork, season, and cover.
ROC ON WITH THE BROC
Cut the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the cabbage. Peel and grate the garlic. Drain the capers. Rinse, pick, and roughly chop the rosemary.
IRISH INSPIRATION
Place a pan (with a lid) over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the sliced cabbage and fry until slightly wilted, 2-3 minutes. In the final minute, add a knob of butter (optional) and seasoning. Mix ½ the fried cabbage through the mash. Cover and set aside.
COOKING UP A STORM
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil or a knob of butter. When hot, fry the broccoli pieces until lightly charred, 5-6 minutes. Add a splash of water, cover with the lid, and simmer until al dente, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the pan and season.
SMELL THE YUMMINESS
Pat the pork neck steak dry with paper towel and season. Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, cook the pork until cooked through and golden, 4-6 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes. Slice and season.
SENSATIONAL SAUCE
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the grated garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting regularly). Add the vinegar and 1 tsp of a sweetener. Cook until the vinegar is almost all evaporated, 1-2 minutes. Add the drained capers, the picked rosemary, 40ml of water, and seasoning. Mix until combined, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced. Swirl in a knob of butter (optional).
LOOK AT THAT PLATE!
Serve up a heap of the colcannon-style mashed potato. Side with the steak slices, the charred broccoli, and the remaining cabbage. Pour over the caper-garlic sauce and garnish with the almonds. Dig in!
