An Amazing Mash!!

I made an amazing  mash, the other night and it was eaten and enjoyed by all. It may seem strange to add a Zucchini to a mash but it was so yummy! And I do not like Zucchini.

1 large Zucchini

2 medium sized Potatoes

1 chunk of Sweet Potato

Olive Oil

Salt and Pepper

1. Chop the Sweet Potato into medium sized chunks, the Potato into small chunks and the Zucchini into large chunks (this will even out the cooking time) pop them all into a pot, cover with water and boil.

2. When they are all tender, strain but save some of the 'stock' (the water the vegetables were boiled in). Pop into a food processor or blender and add a little of the stock. 

3. Add a little olive oil, to taste, but no more than a teaspoon. Add the salt and pepper.

4. Blend/ puree to the texture you like, adding more stock for a thinner smoother puree and less for a thicker mash.

5. Serve!

How easy, although all mashes are, but super tasty. I made it quite smooth and used at as a sauce for Alex and he ate a fair amount, dipping his carrot and roast beef slices into it. It’s just an idea for you to give a go, simple and easy and if your little one likes it then woo! 3 veggies down!

Also adding olive oil instead of butter, margarine or cream is a good idea as it doesn't contain the cholesterol, salts, animal fats or preservatives that they do and you can add your own salt to taste. Thus making it a lighter calorie, lower sodium meal without affecting the flavour, this is a good technique for most things, to help your family's overall health and nutrition.
