Are
you tired of kale and chard yet?
It can be a long winter without the
bounty of summer we became so
accustomed to. I tend to eat my weight
in greens but I'm always wanting for
more. Root vegetables to the rescue!
Available year round, hearty and filling and packed with nutrients. Experiment with celeriac (celery root),
parsnips, carrots or turnips in place of
your potatoes this holiday and you'd
be surprised at how versatile they can
be. Because they all have a high
starch content, they are satisfying and
creamy without being too rich or
heavy. Here I decided to stick to my
two favourites - carrots and parsnips.
I love the sweetness they both bring to
a dish and the parsnip has a bite more
of a spicy bite than carrots so they add
a touch of depth to any dish. Who
needs mashed potatoes when you've
got creamy carrot and parsnip mash?
