These were wonderfully creamy. And, I loved the addition of bacon. Some horseradish may go nicely in these too. These are a great side dish to serve when having company for dinner.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb parsnips, peeled and sliced
4 slice thick cut bacon, chopped
4 Tbsp parmigiano-reggiano, grated
2 c heavy cream
1 1/2 c milk
1 bay leaf
2 sprig(s) thyme, fresh
2 Tbsp butter, unsalted
2 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
1 small shallot, minced
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Salt and pepper sliced parsnips liberally. Place them in a pot and cover with cream and milk.
  • 2. Add bay leaf, crushed garlic and thyme to the pot. Bring pot to a low simmer, watching cautiously and stirring frequently so the cream does not singe to the bottom on the pot. Simmer for 15 minutes or until parsnips are tender.
  • 3. Meanwhile in another pan fry bacon until crispy. Add minced shallot to bacon and toss until translucent. Remove from heat and drain excess fat. Set aside.
  • 4. Once parsnips are tender, strain parsnips from the cream, reserving the excess cream. Remove and dispose of bay leaf and thyme sprigs.
  • 5. In a food processor or with an immersion blender, puree parsnips with butter. Add some of the excess cream you cooked the parsnips in if you need to thin out your puree.
  • 6. Add crispy bacon and Parmesan to the puree, pulsing lightly to incorporate into puree.
  • 7. Salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

This is the best parsnip puree I've ever had! The flavors were perfectly balanced and the texture was amazing.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used a bit too much bacon. Next time, I'll use less bacon and see how it turns out.

I've never cooked with parsnips before, but this recipe made it easy. The puree was delicious and my family loved it. I'll be experimenting with other parsnip recipes soon!
