Root Vegetable Mash Recipes

ROOT VEGETABLE MASH

Steps:

• Prepare vegetables by dicing them into ½-inch pieces and place them in a pot with the butter or oil. Turn the heat on to medium-low and add in thyme (in full sprigs) and minced garlic.
• Sautée vegetables for about 10 minutes, until beginning to soften.
• Add in water and honey or maple syrup. Cover and allow it to cook for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is absorbed and it is relatively easy to mash the vegetables. Discard the thyme springs.
• Mash the mixture until chunky, or use a hand blender to roughly puree the mixture.
• Season with salt and pepper and serve warm.
