Carrot and swede mash
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.
