Carrots are very high in beta carotene. Coarsely mashing boiled carrots and rutabaga together with a little butter really highlights ingredients. The two vegetables will not fully incorporate into an orange mash but will instead create a beautiful mosaic in your serving dish. If you caught it, yes, I said rutabaga instead of turnips. It's a simple mash that I season with grated nutmeg and cayenne pepper.
