Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized rutabaga
• 3 medium-sized carrots
• 2 medium-sized parsnips
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.25 cups heavy cream
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the rutabagas, carrots, and parsnips, then chop them into equal-sized chunks for even cooking.

Step 2

Place the chopped vegetables in a large pot and cover them with water. Add a pinch of salt to the water to season it.

Step 3

Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer the vegetables for 20-25 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 4

Drain the cooked vegetables in a colander and return them to the pot.

Step 5

Add the butter, heavy cream, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to the pot with the drained vegetables.

Step 6

Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, mash the vegetables until they reach your desired consistency. For a smoother texture, blend thoroughly; for a rustic texture, leave a few chunks.

Step 7

Taste the Rutmus and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 8

Transfer the mashed mixture to a serving bowl, and, if desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish or a comforting main course.
