Vegetable and potato purée

Green beans, carrot and potato, boiled and mashed with a fork or blended for a smoother purée. It is the simplest dish of the week and the easiest to adapt: add milk, cheese or cream to make it more nourishing, and sprinkle sunflower seeds on top if you have no digestive symptoms.

Who this recipe is for

Soft texture and mild flavour: it fits into the weekly menu for people with cancer when nothing else feels appealing.

Ingredients

Quantities for 2 servings. Tick off what you already have.

Step by step

  1. Bring a pot of water to the boil with the salt and spices.
  2. Once it boils, add the chopped green beans and carrot, and cook for 15 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped potatoes and cook for another 10 minutes.
  4. Drain the vegetables and mash them with a fork. Blend them if you prefer a smoother texture.
  5. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil.

Adaptations

How to change it depending on the day. Each change keeps the dish, it does not replace it.

  • Nausea or sensitivity to smells

    Cook the vegetables in the microwave, covered and with a little water, then mash them: this avoids steam and cooking smells around the house.

  • Mouth sores or dry mouth

    Blend it until completely smooth, with no pieces, and serve it warm, without spices or sunflower seeds.

  • Poor appetite

    Mash the potato with a splash of whole milk, cheese or cream, and add chopped hard-boiled egg.

  • Diarrhoea

    Make it with potato and carrot only, without green beans or sunflower seeds: this recipe is fairly high in fibre.

What it provides

Carbohydrates from the potato, and fibre and vitamins from the vegetables. It contains little protein on its own, so it is a good idea to serve it with something else or enrich it.

The dietitian's tip

If you have no digestive symptoms, a tablespoon of shelled sunflower seeds on top adds healthy fats and a little crunch. Store it in portions in the fridge and heat each portion when you are ready to eat.

This is part of the weekly menu for people with cancer. Also from the same menu: pumpkin, rice and cheese soup and lentil soup.

What a recipe is not

This recipe fits into a plan; it does not replace one. It cures nothing and it is not calculated for one particular person: the quantities are indicative and will need adjusting to your case.

If you have a medical condition, take medication or follow a prescribed diet, check with your doctor or your dietitian before changing anything.
