Turnip and Carrot with Dill

When I was travelling in Italy this year, I was surprized at the number of fellow tourists (usually Brits) who mentioned how they missed their vegetables.   It was heart warming, because I despair at the number of people who won't eat vegetables or salads.  

I absolutely love turnips and carrots together.   They enhance each other.

Turnips and Carrots

Ingredients:

1 small turnip (officially a rutabaga, the yellow turnip with purple skin at the top)
5-6 carrots (approximately the same amount of turnip and carrot)
Butter
Salt
Pepper
Fresh dill (optional)

Instructions:
Peel and cut the turnip into 1/2-inch pieces.
Cut the unpeeled trimmed carrots into 1/2-inch pieces.
Cook in salted water until soft.
Drain and add 2-3 Tbsps. of butter, salt and pepper, and some chopped fresh dill.
Mash with a potato masher into a rough mash.
