Smashed Root Vegetables

Tina Rupp

1. Place celery root, parsnips, potatoes and garlic into a large pot. Cover with cold water by an inch and add 2 tablespoons salt. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until all of the vegetables are just tender.
    
2. Add chard and cook an additional 2 minutes, just to wilt the greens. Drain well and return cooked vegetables to the pot. Remove chard and set aside for a moment.
    
3. Using a wooden spoon, stir vegetables over medium heat to remove some of the excess moisture, about 4 minutes. Using a large fork or a potato masher, lightly mash the vegetables. Remove from heat and add the reserved chard, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, lemon zest, olive oil and cheese. Mix until well combined. Serve hot.
