Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 4 potatoes
- 1 beetroot
- olive oil
- sea salt
- various herbs, like basil, thyme, oregano, parsley, dried celery root & leaves, fennel,
- onion powder, nutmeg, black pepper, chives
Directions:
Cook potatoes and beetroot till tender.
The beetroot needs more time, so either
put it in first, or take out the
potatoes when done, and finish the
beetroot separately.
Mash and mix in oil and whatever spices
and herbs your heart desires.
I like to serve this with radishes, cos
the colour matches, and ruccola or any
other nice lettuce.
If you shape the mash to hearts, and
cover in sesame seeds, you have a nice
valentines snack!
Also, if you make a big portion and have
cold leftovers, you can heat them in a
frying pan (skillet) like this.
Alternately, you can mash the potatoes
separately, mix in oil & herbs, and then
only mix in the mashed beetroot partly,
so you get a marble effect.
I bet kids'll like this bright magenta
coloured mash!
Use this as a side dish, or a snack, or
as a topping on shepherd's pie
