Sweet root vegetables given a spicy boost

Provided by Ruth Watson

Categories     Dinner, Side dish

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ½kg medium-sized parsnips , peeled
85g butter
1 tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp hot chilli powder
a scraping of fresh nutmeg
150ml milk
2 tbsp hazelnut oil (or 1tbsp walnut oil)

Steps:

  • Cut the parsnips into large, fairly evensized chunks: the skinny end will make one chunk, then either halve or quarter the bulky part lengthways, remove the core, and cut into similar-sized pieces.
  • Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil, tip in the parsnips and cook briskly for 10-15 minutes, half-covered, until tender but not slushy. Drain well, then return parsnips to the saucepan.
  • Push the parsnips to one side and put the butter, spices and plenty of ground black pepper into the space. Return the saucepan to a very low heat and let the butter melt, the spices warm through and the parsnips continue to dry for a few minutes.
  • Now add the milk and oil and mash the parsnips vigorously, until smooth. (They won't look as smooth as potato mash but a quick taste will tell you if there are any lumps left.) Adjust the seasoning, if necessary, and serve immediately.
