Carrot & Turnip Mash
Pinterest Hidden ImagePinterest Hidden Image

I was never a difficult or picky eater when I was young. I loved most vegetables and all fruits. My parents always made new dishes with different ingredients and for that, I’m very thankful 🙏. They actually opened up our minds and taste buds to a wide variety of new flavors.
 
Now, that makes total sense on why I’m a foody 💡!
 
I mentioned most vegetables and it’s true. It’s either I never liked the taste 😖 or eventually grew to enjoy it. The ones I wasn’t too fond of and now, slowly started to enjoy are turnips, cabbage, parsnips, and rutabagas. Although they’re not my top favorites, I still force myself to incorporate them into my diet.
 
When it comes to rutabaga, I have a few dishes that I use them in like Bouilli du Québec and this featured recipe… my Carrot & Rutabaga Mash! It’s actually quite good considering I’m not a huge fan of that particular root vegetable. The added carrots 🥕 accentuate the sweetness of this side dish making it so delicious!
 
It’s as straight forward as if you were making regular mashed potatoes. This Carrot & Rutabaga Mash has a beautiful color resembling my Mixed Mashed Potatoes 🍠🥔. The only difference between the two of them is this featured one is sweeter than my day-to-day mashed.
 
It’s a great side dish to serve during Thanksgiving or Christmas 🎄. This Carrot & Rutabaga Mash is a delicious change from ordinary mashed potatoes or mashed cauliflower and pairs very well with most proteins.
Bon Appétit!🍽
