Background

One of my favourite side dishes is a mash - but not just mashed potatoes, I like most root vegetables mashed too, so I experiment with different combos. This celeriac and carrot mash works well - depending on the main dish I serve it with fresh green herbs, such as parsley, coriander, dill, basil or chives. Sometimes I add some grated nutmeg or a pinch of paprika/cayenne too.

Ingredients

1 medium celeriac
3 medium carrots
2 Tbsp chopped fresh herbs of your choice (flat leaf parsley, coriander or basil)
Couple of knobs of butter or 1 tbsp dairy-free spread

Instructions

Peel the vegetables than cut them into 3 cm chunks. Put them a large pan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender.
Drain and return to the pan. Add the butter or spread and mash ( using a potato masher or hand-held blender). Season to taste and stir through your chosen herb.
Serve warm.
