Ingredients

  • 1½ kg parsnips, peeled
  • 500g Brussels sprouts, cooked
  • 25g butter
  • 200ml milk
  • 1 bunch spring onions, sliced

Method

  1. Chop the parsnips into large chunks. Boil for 15 mins or until really soft, then use a slotted spoon to drain into a colander. Blanch the sprouts in the same pan.

  2. In a bowl, mash the parsnips with the butter and milk, then stir through the sprouts and spring onions. Serve with a knob more butter. Can be chilled for up to a day, or frozen. Simply defrost, then cover and reheat in a microwave, stirring often, until piping hot.
