What to do with Parsnips?

Wednesday, December 16, 2009

My favorite thing to do with parsnips is to roast them with other root vegetable and herbs, like the parsnips and carrots above. What else could you do?

1. Boil and puree them with potatoes, or in substitution of mashed potatoes.
2. Add them to a soup - either pureed with cream, or in a hearty stew.
3. Bake them like “fries” and serve them with a zesty dip.
4. Make latkes, or anything else that you would normally cook with potatoes.
5. Add them to a gratin!

I’m sure readers have even more ideas for this winter vegetable. Send them in!
