Parsnip and turnip mash with roasted garlic
Background
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
- 2 medium parsnip
- 1 medium turnip
- ½ bulb of roasted or grilled garlic
- 1 tbs soft butter or olive spread
- Salt &pepper
- 2 Tbsp chopped fresh herb of your choice ( dill, parsley, basil, coriander or chives)
Instructions
- 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.
- When the veggies are tender, drain and put them back into the pan.
- Push the garlic flesh out of it’s skin and add to the vegetables. Add butter/spread and seasoning, then mash with a potato masher until you get a coarse mixture. Add the chopped herbs and combine.
- Serve hot.
