Simple vegetables create beautiful side dish for Scallops.....nightshade and gluten free

Greetings once again!
Sometimes, simple is the best.  And nothing is simpler than sweet potatoes and turnips.  A touch of goat cheese, mashed with the vegetables and seasonings, brings something special to your table.  The mash is a great side-dish with almost anything, or a layer with other choices, as in the photograph above.  This selection features grilled scallops, as the focal point.
And as always, this dish is NIGHTSHADE FREE.  It's also, gluten free.  For lactose free,  omit the goat cheese.  It still has great flavor.
Hope you are well!
