Culinary Disasters

Want a quick simple easy side?  Want to be able to justify the purchase of the ricer to a loved one as just not a way to make the world’s greatest mashed potatoes?  Well tada I present you with the root vegetable mash.

For this dish you will need:

• 1lb of celery root cut into 1 inch cubes
• 3 parsnips cut into a large dice
• 3 carrots cut into a large dice
• 4 tb of butter cut into slices
• 1/4 cup of heavy cream (hey I never said this was a healthy recipe)
• Kosher salt and pepper

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.  Add in the celery root, carrots, and parsnips and bring to a simmer.  Let it cook for 30-40 minutes or until fork tender.

Once cooked strain out the vegetables and discard the liquid.

Set up your ricer over a saucepan.  Put some of the mixture into the ricer and squeeze.  Repeat till the colander is empty and the pot is full of fluffy vegetables.

Return the pot over medium-low heat.  Add in the cream and butter and stir till the butter is melted and mixture is warmed through.  Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
