I also love roughly mashed swede parsnip and carrot, all in equal quantities - the cream, yellow and orange colour looks good, and the mix of tastes is lovely too. If you cook them all in one pan you need to add them in the order: carrot, swede, parsnip, because of the different length of time each takes to cook.

Just chop the swede into chip-shaped pieces, drizzle with a little olive oil, sprinke with salt and stick 'em in the oven for 20 minutes. Also works for parsnips and turnips.

So, don't just mash, kind of beat it as well until it whips up. Then mix in herbs of your choice - thyme is great or oregano if you still have it growing (ours is still doing great with our mild autumn). Then spoon it all into an ovenproof dish and bake in the over 180 degrees for 25 minutes until just turning brown. You can top it with grated cheese for a 'one pot meal' if you choose and just serve with salad. I'm thinking if you are meat eater then a few bits of crispy bacon throughout the mash might be nice too?

We did a swede, carrot and potato mash, with lots of black pepper. It was so tasty, we came back for more! Recipe here: http://www.vegbox-recipes.co.uk/recipes/swede-recipe-3.php Please do send in more swede recipes, as I suspect there are plenty more swedes on their way this season! Thanks, Clare Inspiration struck this weekend – with a little help from mum!
