Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized rutabaga
- 3 medium-sized carrots
- 2 medium-sized parsnips
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the rutabagas, carrots, and parsnips, then chop them into equal-sized chunks for even cooking.
Place the chopped vegetables in a large pot and cover them with water. Add a pinch of salt to the water to season it.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer the vegetables for 20-25 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the cooked vegetables in a colander and return them to the pot.
Add the butter, heavy cream, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to the pot with the drained vegetables.
Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, mash the vegetables until they reach your desired consistency. For a smoother texture, blend thoroughly; for a rustic texture, leave a few chunks.
Taste the Rutmus and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Transfer the mashed mixture to a serving bowl, and, if desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve warm as a side dish or a comforting main course.
