Equipment
- Food Mill optional
Ingredients
- 600 g swede
- 600 g carrots
- 30 g butter
- 1 tablespoon creme fraiche
- chives spring onion or parsley, to garnish
Instructions
- Remove the tough outer skin of the swede and peel your carrots. On a chopping board, dice everything into bite-size chunks, keeping them roughly the same size, so they cook at the same rate.
- Cook the vegetables in a large pan of salted water for about 25-30 minutes over medium heat, until fork tender, but not falling apart.
- Drain the vegetables, and leave them to steam in a colander for a couple of minutes to allow for excess water to evaporate. Tip them back into the pot and mash thoroughly. If you are using a food mill, process the tender cooked vegetables into a smooth purée.
- Season with salt and pepper and, using a wooden spoon, stir in creme fraiche and ½ of the butter. Top the Mashed Carrot and Swede with the remaining butter and scatter herbs on top.
