- 500 grams Swede
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
Directions
Step 1
Peel the carrots and swede. Cut them into similar-sized chunks to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
Place the carrots and swede in a large pot, and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Step 3
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until both the carrots and swede are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 4
Drain the cooked vegetables well, allowing them to sit in the colander for a few minutes to remove excess moisture.
Step 5
Return the drained carrots and swede to the pot or place in a large mixing bowl.
Step 6
Add the unsalted butter to the vegetables and mash using a potato masher or a fork until smooth and well combined.
Step 7
Season the mash with ground black pepper and stir in the freshly chopped parsley and thyme leaves.
Step 8
Taste and adjust pepper seasoning if desired. Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite main course.
