This turnip and cauliflower mash is a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional mashed potatoes. The combination of turnips and cauliflower provides a creamy texture and a delightful sharp flavor.

Ingredients

• 1 head of cauliflower
• 2 large turnips
• 2-3 tablespoons butter
• Sea salt, to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Fresh or dried parsley, for garnish

Instructions

2. Cook the Vegetables:
   • Place the turnip cubes and cauliflower florets in a large pot.
   • Cover with water and bring to a boil over medium heat.

   • Drain the vegetables thoroughly.
   • Return the turnips and cauliflower to the pot or a large mixing bowl.
4. Mash and Season:
   • Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, mash the turnips and cauliflower until smooth. For an extra creamy texture, you can also use a food processor.
