Parsnips are one of the vegetables I think I ought to like; they are a locally grown vegetable, available all winter after all. But I never managed to be terribly enthusiastic about them until this recipe came along.

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lbs parsnips
salt & pepper
4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon parsley, Chopped
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

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.
