Serves 4-6

Ingredients

6 medium parsnips, peeled and chopped large
2 medium tart apples, peeled, cored and chopped large
¼ cup fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons butter
¼ cup whole milk
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
½ teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated

Directions

Place the parsnips and apples in a pot of water (just covering the parsnips and apples), cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a low boil and allow the parsnips and apples to cook until tender for about 15 minutes. Strain the parsnips and apples and reserve ¼ cup of the cooking liquid. Place the parsnips and apples and process until smooth. Place in a bowl and season with salt, and pepper to taste and then a little freshly grated nutmeg, making sure to stir it into the mash.
