Hodge Podge

Ingredients

• 1 lb New Potatoes
• 1 lb Carrots
• 1 cup Green Beans
• 1/2 cup Peas
• 1 tablespoon Dill
• 1 tablespoon Chives
• 3 Cups Milk
• 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
• 1/2 cup Butter
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

1. Begin by cooking the vegetables. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the potatoes and carrots and parboil for about five minutes, until just tender. In the same pot, blanch the green beans and peas for around one minute. Drain all the vegetables and set aside.
2. In a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cooked vegetables and warm them through gently, stirring to coat.
3. Pour in the milk and cream and bring to the boil. Immediately reduce the heat to low and season with salt and black pepper.
4. Stir in the dill and chives and allow the mixture to simmer gently for at least 10 minutes.
5. Serve warm.
