Ingredients
1 small butternut pumpkin
1 large potato
Equipment
- 1 Pot
- 1 Strainer
- 1 Potato masher
- 1 Microwave-safe container
- 1 Cling wrap
- 1 Blender or food processor
Instructions
- Peel and chop the vegetables.
- To cook on the stovetop: Add the vegetables to boiling water and cook until soft, around 10 minutes.
- Alternatively, to cook in the microwave: Place the vegetables in a microwave-safe container. Cover with cling wrap, leaving one corner uncovered to allow steam to escape. Cook on HIGH for 5 minutes and check to see if veggies are soft.
- Once cooked, strain the vegetables, reserving a little of the water if you used the boiling method.
- Mash finely with a little of the reserved water (or fresh water) until smooth.
Notes
Tip
