Sweet potato and kohlrabi mash

Sweet potato and kohlrabi mash.jpeg

This is a refined variation on potato mash in my opinion. The sweet potatoes impart a joyful orange hue; the kohlrabi makes the texture fluffy; and a hint of coconut cream makes the ensemble utterly smooth. The sweetness of the potatoes is balanced by the earthiness and bitterness of the kohlrabi. Frankly, this is a gourmet side dish.

Ingredients (serves 4 as a side)

  • 2 Small sweet potatoes, peeled

  • 1 Small kohlrabi (a vegetable from the cabbage family that tastes like turnip)

  • 3 tbsp coconut cream

  • Chopped chives to decorate

Method

  • Cube and boil the potatoes and kohlrabi in water for about 10 min until cooked. Expect the kohlrabi to stay quite firm.

  • Drain and blend in a high speed blender with the coconut cream, salt and pepper.

  • Serve sprinkled with chives.
