Turnip Mash and Mushroom Sauce

Serves: 2

Takes: 1 hour 10 minutes

Mashed turnip and vegan sausages with a creamy mushroom and onion sauce.

Its like Bangers and Mash were your childhood friends but then you lost touch after school, until one day when you bump into them in Harvey Nics when you nip in to use the toilet and now you don't know how to talk to each other anymore cause they got classy and you have doughnut in your hair

Anyway...

Ingredients

• 1 turnip
• 2 tbsp vegan butter

• 4 vegan sausages (homemade or shop bought, I'm not here to judge*)

• 2 cups spinach
• 1 cup chopped mushrooms
• 1 red onion
• 1 cup vegetable stock
• 1/2 cup of vegan cream (I used Alpro soy cream)
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tsp wholegrain mustard
• 1 tsp marmite
• 1 tsp dried parsley/1 handful of fresh parsley

Method

1. Chop the turnip into 1 cm cubes and boil for an hour or until soft enough to mash.
2. Start to cook the sausages and sauce about 30 minutes into the turnips cooking time (may vary depending on the sausages stated cooking time)
3. Stir fry the mushrooms and red onion for about 5 minutes
4. Add in the garlic and cook for a couple more minutes.
5. Pour in the stock and cream, along with the mustard, marmite and parsley and simmer for about 10 minutes.
6. Add the spinach into the sauce to wilt.
7. When the turnip is soft, drain well and mash with the butter.
8. Plate up!

Substitutions
Marmite- you could use vegemite. I get that 50% of the planet hate marmite but just trust me on this one, you really can't taste it.
Sausages- whatever you have; tofu, tempeh, more mushrooms...
