Cauliflower and Parsnip Mash
By: Susan Joy
Serve my Cauliflower and Parsnip Mash as an alternative to mashed white potato.
This creamy and fluffy, low carb mash is delicious served with a roast, stews, meatballs or use to top Shepherd’s Pie or any dish where mash is needed. By adding parsnips to cauliflower mash you get more flavour and a better texture, as cauliflower on its own is more like a puree.
Serves: 6 | Prep Time: 00:10 | Cooking Time: 00:15
Ingredients
- 3 (approx 380g) parsnip(s), peeled and chopped small
- 1 med head cauliflower, chopped into small florets
- 3 – 4 Tbsp coconut cream
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- Sea salt and black pepper, ground, to taste
- Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling of parsley
Directions
Add the parsnip to a large saucepan of simmering water and cook for approximately 5 minutes then add the cauliflower. Cook the vegetables for a further 10 minutes or until tender (cooking time will depend on the size of your vegetables). Drain the vegetables well then add them to a blender or food processor.
Add the coconut cream, olive oil, salt and pepper to the vegetables and blend to a smooth fluffy mash. Taste and adjust your seasoning.
Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling of fresh parsley.
The mash is also suitable to freeze (I freeze in single serves to make it easy to defrost).
