Ingredients

  • 1/2 tbsp. coarse Himalayan pink salt
  • 4 1/2 cups rutabaga, peeled and cubed tips & tricks
  • 4 1/2 cups carrots, peeled and cubed
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 tsp. garlic salt, or more to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste (I always use mixed peppercorns)
  • 1 tbsp. chopped parsley, for garnish tips & tricks

Directions

  • In a large pot, add some coarse sea salt before adding carrots and rutabaga; cover with cold water to 2-inches above the vegetables. Stir to mix, cover and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-high and offset the lid; cook until tender, about 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Drain the vegetables in a colander and return them to the pot. Mash them until nice and fluffy.
  • Add butter, garlic salt and freshly ground black pepper; taste and adjust if necessary. Sprinkle parsley on top and serve immediately.
