Parsnip and turnip mash with roasted garlic
If you’re bored with mashed potatoes or you’re on a low-carb,food combining diet, this recipe of parsnip and turnip mash with garlic could come very handy. I made it with roasted garlic but you can use garlic paste from a jar too, if you don’t have any home-made ones. Serve it as a side dish with fish or meat – and choose a fresh herb to complement your main dish.
Ingredients
Method
- Peel the parsnip and turnip then cut them into small chunks. Put them in a pan of cold water, bring to the boil, then gently simmer for about 10 minutes.
