THE best butternut-mash

place 1kg of cleaned, peeled and cubed butternut into boiling water and cook until soft. drain.

mash the butternut while still warm, add a dash of olive oil to moisten, 1 generous teaspoon of freshly crushed garlic, 60g grated parmesan cheese, salt and freshly ground black pepper. thin with water to your favourite consistency.

have it as you would potato mash, try it with a saucy stew or with gravy. so, so good!
