A lot of people shy away from root vegetables. Not me. They are humble, honest, good grub. Ever since my mom showed a very-young me how to puree turnips, adding a little fresh-cracked black pepper, salt and butter before serving, I have been mixing up batches as a homely comfort food for chilly days. When I discovered that my Irish friend Majella calls them “bashed neeps (‘nips, get it?) that made this dish even more endearing. These are great served with our Curried Lamb & Potato Pie.
