Why it works
- Tree nut allergy: No nuts anywhere: the mash gets its creaminess from olive oil.
- Milk allergy: No milk, butter or cream: olive oil makes the parsnip mash silky.
- Wheat allergy: No flour or breadcrumbs: the sauce thickens with apple and stock.
- Dairy-free: Entirely plant-based fats: seared pork and mash use olive oil only.
Dairy-free check: watch for butter, cream, cheese, whey, casein and milk powder in packaged foods. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
