When we think of whips we don’t usually think of vegetables, but vegetable whip should not be overlooked. This is a Canadian-French dish that is worth the attempt. It is basically a variation of mashed potatoes that are infused with your favorite vegetables. This dish calls for turnips, carrots, and onions, but you should feel free to substitute your favorite veggies like beets and celery. This makes for a great side dish or appetizer and pairs well with steak and wine.
Health Benefits
One of the more interesting vegetables utilized in this veggie whip recipe is the turnip. Turnips are seriously underrated vegetables, most likely because they’re not particularly tasty. These vegetables are worth the bitter flavor nonetheless. They can improve bone health due to their significant calcium stores. They can also improve hearth health due to the potassium and help regulate and aid digestion. This includes preventing constipation and alleviating diarrhea, cramping, and bloating.
Ingredients
1 turnip – peeled and diced
4 carrots – peeled and diced
1 large onion – chopped
1 large white onion
6 medium potatoes - peeled and cubed
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
salt and pepper to taste
