Ingredients

  • 500g/1lb 2oz celeriac, peeled and cut into 2.5cm/1in chunks
  • 400g/14oz carrots, peeled and cut into 2.5cm/1in chunks
  • 250g/9oz parsnips, peeled and cut into 2.5cm/1in chunks
  • 50g/1¾oz butter
  • few gratings of nutmeg
  • flaked sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

  1. Put the vegetables in a large saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat slightly and simmer for 25–30 minutes, or until the vegetables are very tender.

  2. Drain the veg in a colander and then tip them back into the pan. Add the butter, grated nutmeg and lots of salt and pepper to taste, then mash well. For an extra smooth mash, whizz with a stick blender.
