Root Vegetable Puree
Root vegetables are becoming very popular in restaurants. This puree is a surprising switch from mash potatoes. The combination gives this dish a unique taste that is hearty and satisfying. For a spicier puree, add some freshly grated ginger. For a smoother consistency, use a food processor or food mill. Makes 4 servings.


Ingredients:

1 medium parsnip
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium celery root
2 tablespoons plain soy milk
1 medium turnip
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 medium sweet potato


Instructions:
1. Peel and cut all the root vegetables into large dice. In a saucepan, bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Add the vegetables and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until cooked all the way through.

2. Drain the vegetables in a colander and transfer to a mixing bowl. Mash them with a heavy-duty wire whisk and drizzle in the olive oil and soy milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
