Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Turnips
- 3 large Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the turnips and carrots, then chop them into evenly sized cubes (about 1-inch pieces) to ensure they cook evenly.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the turnips and carrots to the boiling water.
Reduce the heat to medium and cook the vegetables for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the turnips and carrots in a colander, allowing them to steam dry for a minute or two to remove excess moisture.
Return the cooked vegetables to the pot, then add the butter and heavy cream.
Using a potato masher or immersion blender, mash the mixture until smooth and creamy. Add salt and black pepper, adjusting seasoning to taste.
Transfer the mash to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm alongside your favorite main dish. Enjoy!
