MASHED ROOT VEGGIES - "STAPPA"

Steps:

• Wash and peel vegetables and cut them into quarters and put in a large pot.
• Add broth plus enough water to just about cover the veggies.
• Cook until very tender- as you would for mashed potatoes.
• Drain well and mash with butter and seasonings. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve hot.
• Note: If you prefer one veggie over another adjust the amount to include more of what you like and less of what you do not. If you do not like one of the veggies do not use it at all and add more of what you do like. This is a very adaptable recipe and will come out well no matter which types of root veggies you use- even if you use different ones all together such as turnips or rutabagas- just use only what you like and none of those you don't.

SMASHED ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Place the parsnips, garlic, potatoes and celery root in a large pot. Cover with cold water by one inch and add the 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain well, then return the cooked vegetables to the pot. Using a wooden spoon, stir the vegetables over medium heat to remove some of the excess moisture, about 4 minutes. With a large fork or potato masher, lightly mash the vegetables. Off the heat, add the 1 teaspoon salt and the lemon zest, thyme, olive oil and Parmesan. Mix until well combined. Serve hot.

• Peel the root vegetables then chop up into golf-ball sized pieces, place in salted boiling water and cook until very tender.
• Drain in a colander.
• Place the vegetables back in the pan and mash with a potato masher.
• You can mash them as smooth or as chunky as you like. Season with salt and pepper, then enrich the flavor with extra virgin oil or butter, or both, to taste. (I prefer using both olive oil and butter.).
• Jamie continues to say: once cooked, the mashed vegetables can be kept warm in a bowl covered with kitchen foil over simmering water. This is handy when cooking for a dinner party -- (especially when timing is of utmost importance.).
