Vegtable mash

Makes 4 - 6 meals

  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and chopped
  • 1 potato, peeled and chopped
  • 2 tbsp peas, fresh or frozen
  • 2 tbsp sweetcorn kernels, frozen or tinned (unsalted)
  • 4 tbsp water


Heat the olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the carrot and fry until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the potato, peas , sweetcorn and water and stir to mix. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Puree by pushing through a sieve or by using a liquidizer. Add a little more water if a thinner consistency is preferred.
