Whipped Carrots Snips

---

I have been making this delicious side dish every year for thanksgiving and also for st. Patrick's day ever since i first found the recipe in a 1994 issue of bon appetit. I serve these piping hot with pats of butter melting on top. If you like, provide a small pitcher of warm golden syrup to drizzle over the top of individual servings.

Steps

---

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.

---

Add carrots to the water , and let simmer about 5 minutees , with the lid on , but slightly ajar.

---

Add parsnips , and simmer until carrots and snips are very tender , approximately 15 minutes , still with the lid on , slightly ajar.

---

Drain and return to same pot.

---

Stir over medium heat- this is to remove any additional moisture and should only take a minute or two.

---

Place cooked veggies into a food processor and add butter.

---

Process until mixture is smooth like mashed potatoes.

---

Season with nutmeg to taste , as well and salt and pepper.

Can be made 4 hours ahead and reheated.
