Brúitín le Scailliúin, Bainne
Is eard is brúitín ann prátaí brúite agus im trid. Thugaimis Champ ar an leagan seo de.Champ Mias simplí é, tá sé furasta a dhéanamh, téifidh sé tú, agus tá cothú ann. Nuair a bhí mise i mo pháiste bhíodh sé againn Oíche Shamhna i gcomhair dinnéir. Chuirtí píosa sé pingine agus páipéar gréisdíonach timpeall air i bhfolach ann. Dá bhfaighfeá i do chuid é, chiallaigh sin go mbeadh an t-ádh ort as sin go ceann bliana - gan trácht ar an saibhreas a bheadh agat ar feadh tamaillín.


8 prátaí mheánacha, scamhtha
roinnt scailliún
1/4 pionta/ 125ml/ 1/2 cupán bainne
salann agus piobar
cnapóg ime an duine
(diol céathrair)


Is e an bealach is fearr leis na prátaí a réiteach iad a bhruith i ngaladán agus ansin iad a chur trí mouli légumes. Nó, de rogha air sin, is féidir iad a bhruith go mbeidh siad bog gan a bheith ina bprabhait. Taom iad agus cuir ar ais ar an teas iad len iad a thriomu roinnt sula mbrunn tu iad. Pé ní é, coinnigh te iad. Mionghearr na scailliúin go min, an chuid ghlas chomh maith leis an gcuid bhán, agus bruith ar feadh 5 nóiméad ar an mbainne iad. Buail an meascan isteach sna prátaí brúite go mbeidh sé min agus éadrom, blaistigh mar is gá agus dáil le cnapóg mhaith ime ag leá ar a bharr. Tumtar gach béalóg san im leáite sula n-itear e. Tá sé an-mhaith le gloine bainne fhuair.

Déantar cál ceannann ar an gcaoi chéanna ach amháin go gcuirtear cabáiste leis. In áiteanna sa tir úsáidtear cál nó cabáiste bán i gcónaí. Pé ní é, stiall agus mionghearr cabáiste beag (ná bac leis an stumpa) agus bruith go mbeidh sé bog. Buail isteach sa mheascán prátaí é agus dail mar a dúradh thuas.

Champ
Champ is a simple, warming dish which is cheap, easy to produce and very filling. When I was a child we used to have it at Hallowe'en for dinner.Champ A silver sixpenny piece wrapped in greaseproof paper would be buried in it. To find it in your portion was to bring good luck for a year - quite apart from the temporary wealth.


8 medium potatos, peeled
small bunch of scallions (spring onions)
1/4 pt/125ml/1/2 cup milk
salt and pepper
knob of butter per person
(serves four)


The best way to prepare the potatoes is to cook them in a steamer and then pass them through a food mill. Alternatively, boil until soft but not mushy, drain and return them to the heat to dry somewhat before mashing. In any case keep hot. Chop the scallions finely, both green and white parts, and cook for 5 minutes in the milk. Beat this mixture into the mashed potatoes until smooth and fluffy, season to taste and serve a large mound on each plate with a good knob of butter melting into the top. Each forkful is dipped into the the melted butter as it is eaten. Very good with a glass of cold milk. Colcannon is made in much the same way as Champ, but with the addition of cabbage. In parts of the country white cabbage is always used. In any case, shred and chop a small cabbage (discard the stump) and cook until tender. Beat into the potato mixture and serve as above.
