Ingredients

    • 1 1/4 lbs green cabbage
    • 2 cups water
    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    • 1 1/4 lbs potatoes, peeled & quartered
    • 1 cup chopped leeks, white part
    • 1 cup milk
    • 1 pinch ground mace
    • salt and pepper to taste
    • 1/2 cup melted butter
    • garnish, optional
    • 1 tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions

In a large pot simmer the cabbage covered in 2 cups of water and the oil for 10 minutes (I do it longer). Drain and chop fine; set aside and keep warm.

In a small pot bring the potatoes and water to cover to a boil and simmer until tender. In another small pot, simmer the leaks in the milk for 10 minutes and then keep warm.

Drain the potatoes and puree them into a large pot. Add the leeks with the milk and the cooked cabbage. Beat until fluffy. Season with mace, salt and pepper. Mound on a serving platter/dish and top with melted butter. Garnish with parsley if desired.
