Ingredients for 2 servings:

• 1 small turnip(s)
• 4 medium-sized carrots
• 2 large potatoes
• ½ onion(s)
• 100 g diced ham (nut ham)
• 1 tbsp oil
• 1 pinch of chili
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 pinch(s) thyme
• 1 pinch of garlic granules
• 1 tbsp broth
• Parsley, for garnishing

Instructions

Working time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour

Peel the turnip and cut into small cubes, as well as the two large potatoes. Peel the carrots and slice them. Rinse all the diced vegetables briefly under running water in a sieve and let them drain. In a pan, fry 2 tablespoons of oil, the lean diced ham, and half the onion very briefly. Then add the diced vegetables, season with chili spice, a pinch of salt, a pinch of thyme, and a touch of granulated garlic. Stir briefly, then deglaze with vegetable stock and water. The vegetables should be just covered with water. Now simmer the whole thing for about 30 minutes. When the vegetables are tender, drain off some of the stock liquid, leaving only about 2 fingers of liquid. Then use a potato masher and mash everything together, but some of the vegetables should still be in small pieces. Season to taste and serve on plates. Finally, sprinkle with finely chopped parsley. A few fried onions are also available, if desired. These, like any additional meat, would be charged extra. Per portion = 4.5p.
