Carrot, Swede & Ginger Mash
Ingredients
- 500 g carrots, peeled and chopped
- 500 g swede (rutabaga)
- 50 g butter
- ½ tsp grated fresh ginger (or to taste)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- A pinch of nutmeg (optional, but complements the ginger well)
Instructions
- Boil the vegetables – Add the chopped carrots and swede to a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 20 minutes, or until soft.
- Drain well and return to the pot.
- Mash – Add the butter and mash until smooth or slightly chunky.
- Add seasoning – Stir in the grated ginger, salt, and pepper. If using, add a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth.
- Taste & adjust – If you like a stronger ginger flavor, add a little more, but keep it subtle so it doesn’t overpower the natural sweetness of the carrots and swede.
