HARVEST VEGETABLE MASH

INGREDIENTS

DUKKAH:

• 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
• 1 ½ teaspoons coriander seeds
• 1 ½ teaspoons cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon nigella seeds (optional)
• chili flakes, to taste
• big pinch of flaky sea salt

HARVEST VEGETABLE MASH:

• 1 medium celery root (1 ¼ lbs) 
• 2 russet baking potatoes (1 ¾ lbs)
• 3 medium parsnips (¾ lb)
• 1 head roasted garlic (how-to HERE)
• 2 inches horseradish root, finely grated
• ¾ cup non-dairy creamer (I like nutpods)
• ¼ cup olive oil, divided 
• sea salt & ground black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make the dukkah: in a food processor, combine the pumpkin seeds, coriander, and cumin. Pulse the mixture until pumpkin seeds are finely chopped. Transfer mixture to a small bowl and stir in the sesame seeds, nigella seeds, chili flakes, and flaky salt. Set aside.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a Silpat.
3. Peel the celery root, potatoes, and parsnips. Chop the celery root and potatoes into 1-inch cubes and transfer to a large pot. Chop the parsnips into 1/2 -inch pieces and transfer to the pot as well. Cover the vegetables with water and add 1 tablespoon of salt. Cover the pot and bring the vegetables to a boil. Boil the vegetables until all varieties are VERY tender when pricked with the tip of a paring knife, about 12-14 minutes.
4. Drain the vegetables and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Arrange vegetables in a single layer and place in the oven for 5 minutes, or until the surface appears dried out.
5. Squeeze the roasted garlic out into an upright blender. Add the horseradish, non-dairy creamer, and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Blend this mixture on high until completely smooth. Transfer this garlicky cream to a small saucepan and bring to a strong simmer.
6. Place the dry vegetables back in the big pot and mash them up a bit by hand to break up the big pieces. Then, add all of the garlicky cream to the pot along with a lot of salt and pepper. Keep mashing until vegetables are smooth and slightly fluffy. Keep warm.
7. Set a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the remaining olive oil to the pan. Once hot, add ¼ cup of the dukkah to the pan and stir constantly until fragrant and spices appear golden brown and toasted, about 3 minutes. Spoon fried dukkah and flavoured oil over the harvest vegetable mash. Serve immediately!
