Ingredients:
1kg turnips, peeled and cut into chunks
8 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp creamed horseradish
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
3 tbsp fresh chives, finely copped
Method:
Combine the turnips and garlic 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 the turnips are very soft.
Turn into a colander and drain thoroughly then turn into a bowl and, using a potato masher, mash the turnips and garlic together until smooth. Now stir in the butter, creamed horseradish, salt, black pepper and mash the mixture once more until smooth.
Finally, stir in the chives and serve immediately.
