1 tsp sea salt

Combine the turnips and carrots in a large saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Add water to come about half way up the vegetables then cover and place over medium heat.
Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and continue cooking gently for about 20 minutes, or until both the turnips and carrots are very soft.
Turn into a colander and drain thoroughly then turn into a bowl and, using a potato masher, mash the turnips and carrots together until smooth. Now stir in the butter, cream, salt, black pepper and mash the mixture once more until smooth.
Finally, stir in the chives and serve immediately.
