Deliciously Irish

I put my Irish heritage to work last night and served cabbage stew for dinner. This is what it had in it:

1/2 medium onion, chopped

1/4 head cabbage, chopped

2 potatoes, chopped

1/2 cup ham, chopped

seasoning salt

paprika

Sautee onions in a couple tablespoons butter. Add cabbage and cover with water. Cover and simmer 10 minutes. Add potatoes and more water if needed, season with seasoning salt and paprika, cover and simmer 15 minutes. Stir in ham and cook until potatoes are done.

We served ours over mashed potatoes, which turned out well for two reasons: the stew was a little salty, so it helped tone it down a bit, and it made it go around a bit more--we were hungry! Even our two-year-old gobbled it up.

Cost of dinner: about 5o cents.
