colcannon
1 lb cabbage, cored, quartered and shredded
2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cut into 2 inch peices
2 small leeks, white and pale green parts only, washed and sliced
1 cup milk
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 tsp mace
8 TBSP butter plus 2TBSP butter

In separate saucepans, cook the cabbage and potatoes in boiling salted water until tender. Drain the cabbage and chop. Drain the potatoes and mash.

Meanwhile in a large saucepan, combine the leeks and the milk. Cook over a med heat until the leeks are tender about 8 minutes.

Add the potatoes, salt, pepper and mace to the leeks and milk and stir over low heat until well blended. Add the cabbage and 8 TBSP butter and stir again to the proper consistency. Pile into a waiting bowl or individual bowls. Use the back of a spoon to make a well in the top of the colcannon and add the remaining butter to melt.

It is traditional to dip each forkful of colcannon into the lake of butter atop the mound. Oh yes, and for the sake of safety...alert people to the presence of the trinkets in the colcannon, lest they get carried away and swallow something they shouldn't.

Obviously, small children should not be given colcannon bearing trinkets due to the possibility of choking.
