Trio of Mashed Roots (Parsnip, Turnip and Carrot) image

This fall and winter farm recipe was passed down from my Irish-Canadian grandmother Agnes Walsh (Donahoe). It's a simple mash that I updated with a dash of nutmeg and cayenne. An exciting (and affordable) side dish for all holiday menus.

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 carrots, peeled and chopped
4 large parsnips, peeled and chopped
2 turnips, peeled and chopped
½ cup butter
½ cup heavy whipping cream
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pinch cayenne pepper
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place carrots, parsnips, and turnips into a pot and cover with cold, lightly salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until a fork easily breaks apart the vegetables, about 25 minutes; drain. Return vegetables to the pot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right turnips: Look for small, young turnips with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid turnips that are large, woody, or have cracks or blemishes.
  • Peel the turnips thinly: This will help to prevent the mash from becoming stringy.
  • Cut the turnips and carrots into uniform pieces: This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: They should be tender but still have a slight bite to them.
  • Season the mash to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to your liking.
  • Garnish the mash with fresh herbs: This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Turnip and carrot mash is a delicious and nutritious side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. It is a great way to use up leftover turnips and carrots, and it is also a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, turnip and carrot mash is a great option for busy weeknights or special occasions.
