CARROT AND SWEDE MASH

Steps:

• Peel the swede, then chop the flesh into rough cubes - about 1 ½ cm sq.
• Scrub the carrots well, then top and tail. No need to peel. Chop into similar sized piece to the swede.
• Place in a large lidded pan along with the bay leaf and salt.
• Almost, but not quite, cover with water. Bring to the boil with the lid on then simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes until the cubes are cooked, but not mushy. You can test by inserting a knife into a cube of each. If it goes in easily, it's done.
• Drain through a colander, reserving the cooking liquid for gravy or soup. Allow to steam dry a little, then return to the pan. Add the butter, nutmeg and pepper and mash to your desired consistency.
