Ingredients
Method
Place butternut, cauliflower, salt and thyme in a pot with 300 ml water. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until butternut and cauliflower is just soft enough to mash.
Drain, but keep some of the liquid. Place back on the stove and simmer for a few minutes to cook out any excess water.
Mash with a potato masher until smooth and stir in nutmeg or mixed spice, oil, lemon juice and pepper. Add some of the retained liquid, if necessary. Stir in fresh herbs and serve immediately.
Serve as a healthy substitute for mashed potatoes with any meal of your choice. Fill your plate with any green veggies and maybe another small portion of starch. A salad or fruit is another delicious way to fill your plate.
Substitute butternut for more cauliflower and follow the recipe as above for a cauliflower mash. Alternatively substitute the butternut for 2 tins butter beans, drained and simmer with the cauliflower.
