Swede & carrot mash




Do you like this veg? I think it is little bit underrated. It is tasty, healthy and low in calories. It makes a lovely alternative to mash potatoes. You can also serve it as a side dish. 

Serves 2-3

about 500g swede, peeled and diced 
2-3 medium carrots, peeled and diced
tbsp of butter
salt 
freshly ground black pepper
freshly ground nutmeg

Place the swede and carrots in a pan of boiling salted water. Cover and simmer until tender. Drain, add  the butter, generous amount of pepper and some nutmeg and mash with a potato masher. I like it bit chunky, you can make it smooth.
