If you chile-heads are looking for something a little different to go
with your Thanksgiving turkey, ham, roast...
Try "Wasabi Mashed Potatoes." For the uninitiated, wasabi is that green
Japanese horseradish which can (literally) take your breath away! Remind
me to tell you some day about the time I accidentally wolfed down a blob
of wasabi in a dimly-lit restaurant in Yokosuka, Japan......woweeeee!!
Wasabi Mashed Potatoes
2 1/2 pounds red potatoes
1 pound turnips
1 teaspoon wasabi paste* (or more!)
2 tablespoons chicken or vegetable broth
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Cracked mixed peppercorns
Chives, snipped or chopped
Peel red potatoes and cut into 2-inch chunks.
Put potatoes in
bowl of cold water as you peel them to prevent
discoloration.
Peel turnips and cut into 2-inch chunks.
Steam potatoes and turnips in large steamer
until fork-tender, about 30 minutes.
Put potatoes and turnips through ricer.
Blend together wasabi paste and chicken
broth. Stir into
potatoes along with salt and bit of cracked
peppercorns.
Spoon into warm serving bowl. Garnish with
additional cracked
peppercorns and a few snipped chives.
* Wasabi is available at large super-markets and Asian groceries.
Happy Thanksgiving!
