Carrot and swede mash

Damien Carter

Report

Our combination of cream, butter, orange zest and nutmeg results in a rich, creamy and flavourful carrot and swede mash that's sure to be enjoyed by even the anti-veg brigade.These two root vegetables' flavours that go particularly well together. Carrots are sweet and a little earthy, while swede is savoury with a rather unique taste, somewhat like a mix of cabbage and turnips. When you mash them together, it creates a delicious blend of sweet and savoury notes, making it a perfect pairing for mains like roast beef or chicken.

In the meantime, zest the orange and weigh out the butter.
Remove the pan from the heat and drain the water from the saucepan.
Add the butter, cream, black pepper, nutmeg and orange zest and place the lid back on for 5 minutes, allowing the butter to melt (off the heat).
Mash to the consistency of your liking.You can use a potato masher or a food processor for a really fine texture.
Spoon into a serving dish and scatter with the optional thyme. Serve warm.
