Parsnip Nut And Cheese Bangers With Sweet Potato Mash Recipes

PARSNIP, NUT AND CHEESE BANGERS WITH SWEET POTATO MASH RECIPE

Steps:

• To make the sausages: Add the parsnips to a pan ofboiling salted water and cook for 5 minutes until just tender. Drain well. Put them back in the pan over a gentle heat to dry out for a minute. Mash them and leave to cool for at least 10 minutes. Add the nuts, cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, parsley, breadcrumbs and egg yolks. Season well. Divide the mixture into 8 and shape it into sausages.
• For the mash: Add the chunks of sweet potato and carrot and the garlic to a pan of boiling salted water and simmer for about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the sausages for 10-12 minutes until browned all over and cooked through.
• Drain the vegetables, return them to the pan and add the cream or milk and butter and mash well. Stir in the cumin seeds and season well.
• Serve the sausages and mash with some chopped leeks, sautéed in butter and some stock, so that they are juicy and like a sauce.

MASHED SWEET POTATOES AND PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes, parsnips, thyme sprigs, nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are well coated.
• Add 1/2 cup water and the half-and-half to the pot, cover and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook, stirring occasionally and adding 1/4 cup more water at a time if the pot is dry, until the vegetables are very tender, 30 to 35 minutes (at the end, there will not be a lot of liquid left).
• Discard the thyme sprigs and transfer the vegetables and any liquid to a food processor. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and process until very smooth. Add the vinegar and process to combine; season with salt and pepper. Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish. Sprinkle with more nutmeg.
