CREAMIEST PARSNIP & CAULIFLOWER MASH WITH GARLIC & CHIVES



Creamiest Parsnip & Cauliflower Mash with Garlic & Chives image

One simple trick makes the creamiest cauliflower mash, with a hint of sweetness & a more potato-like texture, finished with plenty of garlic & chives. No milk or milk substitutes necessary!

Categories     side dishes

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs / 900 g parsnips
1 1/2 lbs / 680 g cauliflower, about one medium head
6 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup / 60 ml lard, butter or ghee, see notes, I like this ghee
1 1/4 tsp / 6 g fine sea salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper, omit for aip
1/4 cup / 10 g fresh minced chives, or 2 tbsp of dried chives like these

Steps:

  • Peel the parsnips and slice them into 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick pieces. I usually chop the larger, thicker ends of the parsnips in half through the core before slicing them. If the inner cores are especially tough, you can quarter the parsnips and then cut out and discard the cores completely.Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, then add the parsnips. Reduce the heat enough to keep the water at an even light boil, then cook the parsnips for about 7 - 8 minutes.
  • While the parsnips are getting a head start, chop the cauliflower into evenly sized florets. Add the florets to the parsnips and bring back to a boil. Cook until the cauliflower is fork tender, about another 8 - 10 minutes.
  • Carefully tip the cooked vegetables into a colander and let them drain completely. Let the drained vegetables sit in the colander until the vegetables almost completely stop giving off steam, about 15 minutes. Letting the steam evaporate off makes for a creamier mash, letting the steam escape instead of blending it right into the vegetables like you would usually do, which creates a soggier, more waterlogged mash. Don't skip this step, it makes a big difference!
  • While the vegetables are cooling, warm the butter or oil of choice in a small saucepan over low medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring often, until the garlic is aromatic but doesn't start to brown, about a minute or two. Remove the garlic butter mixture from the heat.
  • Remove the small pusher from the top of the food processor lid, to give you a large air vent that lets steam escape while you run the food processor. Spoon about half of the vegetables into a large food processor (mine is a 14 cup model) and process until reduced, then add the rest of the vegetables, salt & pepper, if using. Process until smooth and combined, scraping the sides once or twice as needed. Add the garlic butter mixture to the processor and process until light and fluffy. Taste and adjust seasonings, if you like.
  • You can either sprinkle the chives over the top of the parsnip & cauliflower mash for a prettier presentation, or you can stir them through just before serving. (If you like, you can also add them to the food processor at the very last minute, but take care not to over blend the mash at that point or the chives will just disappear.)

A NO RECIPE BAKED MASHED PARSNIPS, ONION & CAULIFLOWER



A No Recipe Baked Mashed Parsnips, Onion & Cauliflower image

We all know about mashed parsnips, and mashed cauliflower, but how about both for a great flavor. A little onion and garlic and then put in a pan topped with a parmesan crust. This is not hard and no fancy whipping, just a potato masher, a little butter and cream, a few bread crumbs and cheese to top it off and done. NO RECIPE. Now, I call this a no recipe, because you can more or less of each ingredient according to your directions, Some like theirs creamier, some don't; some more parsnips some less, so add what you want. However, even though this is a no recipe, these are the approximately ingredients I use. But, feel to use more or less to your liking. Make it your own by adding herbs or even different cheeses.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 50m

Yield 6-8 , 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 head cauliflower (cut in bite size pieces, I remove the thick stems)
3 parsnips (peeled and chopped)
1 small onion, fine chopped
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup heavy cream (light cream or even milk will work, just not as creamy)
salt
pepper
1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Vegetables -- In a large pot, add the cauliflower and parsnips and then top with enough salted water to cover the vegetables. Bring up to a boil and then reduce to medium and cook until the parsnips and cauliflower is tender. They should take about 10-15 minutes. Drain and return to the pot to dry out the extra water. Reduce the temp to medium low.
  • Topping -- As the vegetables cook -- Just put the butter in a small microwavable bowl or cup and melt, just a few seconds. Remove and let cool a minute or so, then stir in the bread crumbs and cheese and set to the side.
  • Mash -- Now in the pot with the vegetables after they have dried a minute or so (medium, low heat), add the butter, cream, onion, garlic, salt and pepper and start slow. Mash and see what the texture is. You can always use a bit more cream or a bit more butter, but I start slow and add a little at a time. Mash until you get the consistency you like.
  • Bake -- 350 degree oven preheated. Just add the mashed vegetables to a small baking dish sprayed with non-stick spray and then top with the bread crumbs. Bake until golden brown. About 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve -- With anything and enjoy. It's like a baked potato dish, but no spuds - Just healthier. Really good!

MASHED PARSNIPS

I was tricked into trying mashed parsnips (I was told they were mashed potatoes) and fell instantly in love. I haven't made mashed potatoes since. Mashed parsnips are full of much more flavor, slightly sweet, but the same great texture. And they are much healthier!
