Recipes for St Patrick's Day

Colcannon

Ingredients

1.5 kg/3 lb potatoes, peeled and cubed
450g/1 lb green cabbage, shredded
100g/4oz butter / margarine
a little milk / soya milk (optional)
1 small onion, peeled and finely chopped
salt and pepper to taste

Method

1. Boil the potatoes until cooked. Drain and mash well, incorporating half of the butter / margarine and a little milk if liked.

2. Steam the cabbage until tender and mix into the mashed potatoes.

3. Melt a knob of the remaining butter in a small frying pan and fry the onion until starting to colour. Stir into the mashed potato mixture.

4. Season the mixture well and serve in mounds on individual plates. Make a well in the centre of each mound and add a knob of butter.

Note: If you prefer, rather than steaming, you can gently fry the shredded cabbage with the onion and add to the potatoes together.
