Creamed Swede Food

EASY CARROT & SWEDE MASH

Steps:

• Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and cook the chopped swede and carrot for 20 minutes until tender. Drain in a colander.
• Put the drained swede and carrot back into the pan it was cooked in and add the butter and cream. Use a potato masher or potato ricer (for a finer mash) to mash it all together. If you like your mash really smooth and creamy see my top tip below!
• Mix in the grated nutmeg, salt, and pepper, and serve. Alternatively, allow the mash to cool before storing it in the fridge. You can also freeze it for use at a later date.
