Ingredients

3 medium white potatoes
1 medium sweet potato
1-2 tbsp. butter or margarine
2-3 tbsp. milk
2-3 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
2 cups butternut chunks, peeled
1 onion, finely chopped

salt and pepper, to taste
1/3 tsp. ground nutmeg, or more

Directions

1. Potatoes: In a large pot cover potatoes with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 20 minutes, until potato flesh is tender when pricked with a knife. Drain, remove potatoes and peel off the skins. Mash potatoes, adding butter, milk and some salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
2. Carrot and butternut: Using a steamer basket, steam carrots and butternut until tender. Mash or puree using a food processor. Add nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste.
3. Spinach and kale: Heat oil in a frying pan and saute onions and garlic until translucent. Add spinach and kale and cover with a lid. Steam until a bright green colour and semi-soft.  Add salt and pepper to taste.
4. In a deep dish, assemble the potatoes, carrots and butternut, and finally spinach and kale as layers on top of one another.  Garnish with crumbled feta cheese.
5. Serve immediately if still warm, or reheat in the oven for 10 minutes.
