Published on 27 April 2022
This deliciously simple carrot and swede mash recipe goes perfectly with a roast dinner. Here we elevate this classic side with the addition of ginger, honey, lemon, thyme, orange juice and olive oil. The dish is a symphony of sweetness, citrus, herbiness, and creamy loveliness. Now it’s just up to you to decide what your main dish will be. We recommend juicy roast pork, with extra crackling, or pan-fried duck breasts.Time and servings
