Parsnips are the ultimate winter veg: comforting, hefty, and happy to hang out in the frosty ground. Here are five top recipes for cooking them:
1. Parsnip crisps
Oh-so-easy, but oh-so-much-better than potato crisps. Read more at Delicious Magazine.
2. Parsnip souffle with apple-walnut sauce
Souffles are sweet, light, airy, and parsnips, while heavy in body, lend a perfect complex sweet taste to this dish once they have been pureed. Read more at Almond Corner.
3. Roasted parsnip and pear soup
Parsnips go really, really well with fruit, especially apples and pears. Enjoy this sweet and juicy soup. Read more at Wonderland Kitchen.
4. Parsnip and violet cake
If, like me, you loved the book ‘Little Grey Rabbit’s Birthday’ more than anything when you were a child, this cake will take you right back to Rabbit’s larder and her thistledown presents. If you’ve got no idea what I’m talking about, you’ll still find this cake pretty exquisite. Read more at Allotment 2 Kitchen.
5. Parsnip and rosemary bread
There’s really nothing more comforting than a hefty loaf of herby bread just out of the oven. This one looks so comforting, you might want to move in with it. Read more at Carina Forum.
