Ingredients
- 1 Small Swede 300g or 2 Cups
- 2 Medium Carrots 300g or 2 Cups
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Sprigs Fresh Thyme
- 1 Bay Leaf
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 50 g Butter 3 tablespoon + 2 teaspoon
- ¼ teaspoon Freshly Grated Nutmeg
Instructions
- Bring a medium pan (20cm or 8") of water to the boil.
- Peel the carrot and swede and cut both vegetables into cubes about 1½cm (just over ½") in size. It is more important that they are both cut roughly the same size rather than the actual size.
- Add the salt to the water along with the diced vegetables, along with the fresh thyme and bay leaf. Simmer for 25-30 minutes.
- Check that the vegetables have softened enough to mash then drain and place in a large bowl.
- Remove the bay leaf and stems from the thyme. Add the butter and mash well.
- Grate in the fresh nutmeg and add the black pepper, stir and serve.
