Ingredients

6 medium-sized parsnips peeled and chopped

3 large potatoes, peeled and cut into 4cm cubes

50 gram butter

1/4 cup milk or cream

sea salt flakes

ground black pepper

250 gram button mushrooms

2 large chargrilled peppers (Nici used The Olive Lady, available in a 465g jar)

flat-leaf parsley, to garnish

Method

1.Boil the parsnips and potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender. Drain and mash with the butter and milk. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

2.While the parsnips and potatoes cook, sauté the mushrooms in oil for 6-7 minutes. Add the chorizo and heat through, then add spinach.

3.Serve up the mash on warmed plates, topped with mushrooms, chorizo and spinach. Top with strips of chargrilled pepper and parsley.

Jars of chargrilled peppers in oil or vinegar are good value, especially when fresh capsicum is out of season. Reserve the oil or vinegar for salad dressings.
