Rutabaga and Celeriac Mash

This past summer we decided to get a veggie basket from a local farmer. A common complaint with these baskets is that you get overloaded with root vegetables. This wasn't such a problem but I am definitely finding I have a surplus of veggies that I wouldn't usually buy. I like this because I'm finding I am creating new foods with the vegetables and I'm rarely running to the store at 5 pm to get one of the staple ingredients from our more usual recipes. I actually do buy celeriac now and then because I make a potato and celeriac mash, which is amazing and will be posted shortly (must give credit to Greg here). Rutabaga is definitely not my favourite vegetable but the celeriac actually kind of hides that faint taste of disgustingness from the rutabagas.

1 rutabaga, peeled and cubed

1 celeriac bulb, peeled and cubed

3-5 tbsp olive oil

1/8 tsp smoke paprika

1/4 tsp salt

1/8 tsp pepper

1 clove of garlic

juice of half an orange

Boil rutabaga and celeriac together until they are tender enough for mashing. Just before mashing, add your olive oil to a small pan. Heat the oil on the stove on medium high heat and mash your potatoes while waiting (you can prepare this ahead of time but it's better if it's hot). When the oil is hot to the point that small bubbles are starting to appear, add your smoked paprika, salt, peepper and garlic and take it off the heat. When your garlic is slighlty cooked in the oil, add it to your mashed vegetables and stir. Squeeze in some orange juice and your done.
