I bought a whole heap of carrots on the weekend and realised that I needed to use these, so this morning I came up with the idea of making mash out of them! I’m sick of steamed vegies right now - had them every day so this combination was just what I needed today.

A little touch of chilli and white pepper brings a nice warmth to this dish and it was just what I need tonight to serve with my soya-bean sausages which I served with the mash in a white bun. Vegie bangers and mash in a bun - tastes delicious (picture below)!

Ingredients:

• 3 medium potatoes
• 2 medium carrots
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• salt
• white pepper
• 1 tsp coriander dried
• 1 tbs butter (I used low fat margarine)
• chilli
• 2 tbs milk

Ingredients:

1. Peel the carrots and potatoes and dice them small to ensure quick cooking.
2. Boil the carrots and potatoes in some water with salt.
3. Once soft, drain the water.
4. Mash down with the butter, pepper, coriander, chilli, salt and garlic leaving the heat on.
5. Add the milk to soften the mixture and add more if required.
6. Season with more salt, pepper and butter to taste.
