Ingredients
- 500 grams Carrots
- 500 grams Swede (rutabaga)
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 milliliters Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by peeling the carrots and swede. Cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 2cm cubes, for consistent cooking.
Step 2
Place the carrot and swede chunks in a large saucepan and cover them with water. Add a pinch of salt to the water to enhance flavors.
Step 3
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low to allow the vegetables to simmer gently.
Step 4
Cook the vegetables for about 25-30 minutes, or until both the carrots and swede are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 5
Drain the vegetables in a colander and let them sit for a minute to allow excess steam to escape, which helps prevent watery mash.
Step 6
Return the drained vegetables to the pot. Add the unsalted butter and milk while the vegetables are still hot.
Step 7
Use a potato masher or an immersion blender to mash the mixture to your desired consistency. For a smoother texture, blend until completely smooth.
Step 8
Season the mash with salt and freshly ground black pepper, tasting and adjusting as needed.
Step 9
Serve the carrot and swede mash hot as a nutrient-rich side dish, perfect for complementing roasted meats or vegetarian mains.
