colcannon
(2 ratings)
This was a HUGE staple in my family growing up. It's actually a dish traditionally served during Halloween. The cook will put lucky charms or coins into the mixture--these are said to bring the recipients good luck or fortune. My dad's version uses scallions and leeks, but you may use cabbage or kale if you prefer.
