Method

Steps

  1. Step 1

    Wash the fresh produce and use clean utensils. Unless specified below, vegetable weights refer to the prepared edible parts. Reserve 120 ml of the listed water for blending.

  2. Step 2

    Use raw peeled potato, cut into 1 cm cubes. Use fresh cultivated button mushrooms, trim the stem ends and slice thinly. Weigh the lemon as whole fruit before cutting. Squeeze and strain out the seeds; use all the extracted juice, not the peel or white pith. Wash, dry and finely chop parsley; discard coarse stems. Peel and finely mince garlic. Use ground black pepper; measure before adding.

  3. Step 3

    Toss the diced potato with half the olive oil and roast on a lined tray at 200°C for 25–30 minutes, until soft throughout and lightly golden. Mash by hand while warm.

  4. Step 4

    Spread the cooked components in a shallow dish and let them cool for about 10 minutes until no longer hot before mixing with the fresh ingredients. Prepare the remaining ingredients while the cooked components cool.

  5. Step 5

    Combine the prepared mushrooms, parsley, black pepper, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic in a blender with the remaining half of the olive oil. Add the 120 ml of blending water. Blend until evenly combined, stopping to scrape down the bowl.

  6. Step 6

    Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl and fold it gradually into the hand-mashed potato until uniform. Do not put the mash through a high-speed blender; stop stirring as soon as it is combined.

  7. Step 7

    Transfer to a clean serving container and rest for 10 minutes. Serve promptly, or refrigerate in a shallow covered container at 4°C or below and use within 2 days. Keep total time at room temperature under 2 hours; stir before serving.
