Instructions

  1. Put a saucepan of water to boil. Peel all the root vegetables and the pumpkin and cut into 3x3cm pieces. Salt the boiling water and add the vegetables, bring to the boil once and then simmer for 20 minutes (all vegetables should be nice and soft).
  2. Drain the water and put the vegetables back on the stove, then mash (I use the old-fashioned potato masher, there are usually a few pieces left whole). Alternatively, puree with the hand blender. First add the butter, then add all the spices and yoghurt so that everything has a nice consistency. If necessary, add seasoning (remember: cinnamon and nutmeg give the whole thing the main note ).
  3. This puree goes well with meat, poultry and fish. Sometimes I just do it with a fried egg.

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
