During the holidays our first impulse is often to bake or cook decadent recipes, full of ingredients we don’t consume on a daily basis. Unfortunately, it’s very taxing on our digestive systems, often draining our energy and leaving us feeling down after the party’s over. Try out this yummy rainbow veggie bake for a healthy choice!
Yummy Carrot Parsnip Mash
If you haven't yet discovered the pure delight of parsnips, now is the time!
This easy mash takes no time at all, and your guests will find you very fancy.
Ingredients:
3 carrots, peeled and cut into big chunks
4 parsnips, peeled and cut into big chunks
3/4 leek, cut into thin slices (avoid possible dirt in upper leek)
1 cup bone broth or water
about 2 T butter
salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste (about 1/4 teaspoon of each)
Directions:
Set the broth or water to boil in a medium, covered pot.
Add leeks, carrots, parsnips.
Boil covered on medium until totally soft. Add butter.
Use immersion blender to mash until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can dump all ingredients into your external food processor to blend.
Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste, and mix well.
Serve, optionally, each portion in a little serving cup, topped with a dash of nutmeg. Delicious!
Makes about 5 servings.
