Creamy Parsnip and Carrot Mash
Ingredients
  • 8 parsnips, peeled and cut into 2 inch pieces
  • 2 carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 6 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1/4 cup snipped chives
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Begin by adding the parsnips and carrots to a substantial container, filling it with sufficient salted water to completely submerge the vegetables. Next, increase the heat to its highest setting and bring the mixture to a rolling boil; thereafter, decrease the intensity of the heat to its lowest setting and cover the container. Allow the vegetables to cook gently for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they have reached a tender state.
2
Once the vegetables are cooked, remove them from the container and discard any excess water. Return the parsnips and carrots to their original pot.
3
Turn the heat down to its lowest setting and melt 3 tablespoons of butter into the vegetables. Finally, sprinkle chopped chives over the top of the parsnips and carrots.
4
Use an immersion blender to blend the vegetables into a nearly uniform consistency; then, add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter and continue to blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
5
Finally, season the puréed vegetables with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper to bring out their full flavor.
