TRADITIONAL ENGLISH HALLOWEEN SUPPER - MASH O' NINE SORTS



Traditional English Halloween Supper - Mash O' Nine Sorts image

This is such a wonderful and traditional English recipe for Hallowe'en - All Hallow's Eve! It was a dish traditionally served to unmarried guests with a ring hidden inside. Whoever found the ring would be the next one to be married! This delicious mashed potato has nine ingredients in it - hence its name. Serve it as a supper dish by itself, or as an accompaniment to bangers/sausages, for a comforting Autumn supper dish! For those whom may be interested, a brief history on the origins of Hallowe'en: In ancient Britain this date was the pre-Christian eve of the New Year and Celtic Harvest Festival, when the souls of the dead were thought to revisit their homes to eat and drink. People left refreshments on the table and unlocked their doors before retiring for the night, then bells were rung, fires lit to guide the returning souls back to earth and animals were brought in for the winter. After Hallowe'en became a Christian festival, supernatural associations continued to thrive. It was believed that witches were abroad and that it was possible for certain people to perform magic and summon up spirits. Hallowe'en was once a time for making mischief - many parts of England still recognise this date as Mischief Night - when children would knock on doors demanding a treat (Trick or Treat) and people would disguise themselves as witches, ghosts, kelpies and spunkies, in order to obtain food and money from nervous householders. In certain parts of England youths still play pranks on their neighbours by hiding garden ornaments, whitewashing walls and ringing doorbells in the dead of night.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs potatoes, peeled and diced
2 carrots, peeled and diced
1 small turnip, peeled and diced
1 large parsnip, peeled and diced
2 leeks, cleaned and chopped into thin slices, including some of the green tops
6 ounces mature farmhouse cheddar cheese, grated
salt
freshly grated black pepper
2 tablespoons single cream

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350ºF/180ºC.
  • Boil the potatoes, carrots, turnip and parsnip together until soft. Mash them thoroughly with a potato masher or hand held immersion blender, and then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Meanwhile, gently poach the leeks in a little water until they just lose their crispness, for about 5 minutes.
  • Add the poached leeks to the potato, carrot, turnip and parsnips, and mix in the cream.
  • Season well to taste, and then stir in the grated cheese, reserving some for the top; don't forget to add the ring before you transfer the entire mixture into a greased oven-proof dish! (If you want to make this in the full traditional manner!).
  • Scatter the reserved cheese on top and bake until golden-brown, about 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Serve piping hot.
  • P.S. Warn your guests about the ring!

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb potato, peeled, halved if large
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
1 swede, peeled and sliced (rutabaga)
2 parsnips, peeled and sliced
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 leeks, thinly sliced (white and lightest green part only)
1 cup frozen green pea, thawed
2 ounces cheddar cheese, grated (about 3/4 cup)
2 ounces parmesan cheese, grated (about 3/4 cup)
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350Ëš Fahrenheit. Boil potatoes, carrots, rutabaga and parsnips in well-salted water for about 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are very tender. Drain vegetables and return to pan. Meanwhile, melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat until foam starts to subside. Add leeks and sauté until leeks are soft and starting to brown.
  • Mash the vegetables and then stir in the leeks (and butter), green peas and half the cheese. Stir in salt and pepper to taste then spread mixture in a casserole and top with the remaining cheese. Bake in the middle of the oven 40 minutes, or until cheese is starting to brown.
  • If there are only two in your house (like mine), you can put half of the Mash of Nine Sorts (before baking) in an oven-proof refrigerator container for another dinner. I just put it in the oven while the oven comes up to temperature and then set the timer for 40 minutes.
