Ingredients
Turnips
Turnips are the star of this recipe. For this dish, you will need about 1 pound of peeled and chopped turnips. They provide a subtle sweetness while adding nutritional value with vitamins C and K. Their unique flavor pairs perfectly with carrots.
Carrots
You will need 2 medium-sized carrots for this mash. Peeled and chopped into small pieces, they add vibrant color and sweetness to the dish. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, making them an excellent choice for healthy eating.
Butter
For creaminess, use 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. It not only enhances the flavor but also gives the mash a rich texture. Feel free to substitute with olive oil for a dairy-free option.
Milk
Incorporate 1/2 cup of milk into the mix for extra creaminess. You can use whole milk or any plant-based milk alternative if you’re looking for a lighter option without sacrificing taste.
Salt & Pepper
Season your mash with salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your taste preferences. Start with 1/2 teaspoon of each; you can always adjust later on to achieve your desired flavor.
