This is the classic Irish mix of potatoes with greens. Kale is traditional and adds more flavour, but you can substitute cabbage if you wish.
Ingredients:
450g kale
450g potatoes
2 leeks
240ml milk
120g butter
1/4 tsp freshly-grated
nutmeg
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
Method:
Add the kale to a large pan of lightly-salted water and cook until tender (about 20 minutes). Drain, allow to cool, then chop to shred the greens.
Finely chop the leeks, then place in a pan along with just enough milk to cover. Bring to a simmer and continue cooking until the leeks are soft (about 8 minutes).
Meanwhile peel and chop the potatoes and add o a pan of lightly-salted water. Return to a boil and continue cooking until the potatoes are soft (about 25 minutes). Drain the potatoes then mash well before stirring-in the leeks and their cooking milk. Return to the heat, blend-in the kale then cream everything together until the mixture is soft and green coloured. Continue cooking until warmed through then add the butter and cook until the butter has melted and combined with the potatoes.
