1/2 cup chopped green scallions, or one bunch
5 cloves roasted garlic
1 small chopped onion
milk
butter
dill (1/2 t. dried, or 1 t. fresh chopped)

put 5 garlic cloves in a microwave proof dish with 1/2 cup water and cover.
microwave on high for 5 minutes. microwave for 5 more minutes while you prepare the rest of the dish.

Chope the cabbage into thin shreds. Sauté onion with a little butter till onions are clear then add the cabbage and saute until limp. Then reduce heat and cover; let it steam for 5 minutes or so. Add the scallions and sauté for a few minutes more.

when the garlic is tender mash it till it is a puree. This is such a wonderful seasoning to add to any mashed potatoes.
