Steps:
- Wash, trim and scrape the parsnips.
- Cut into uniform pieces and boil in salted water, 25 to 30 minutes or until tender.
- Drain well, and let dry.
- Just before serving, heat the butter in a skillet and saute over moderate heat until light brown on all sides, letting the parsnips caramelize a little in their own sugar. It is best if you have a large enough pan that they can be cooked in a single layer.
