CARROT PARSNIP STIR-FRY



Carrot Parsnip Stir-Fry image

Orange carrot slivers and yellow parsnips make a pretty and different side dish. If parsnips aren't available, you could substitute rutabagas or turnips. Usually, I saute the vegetables until they are crisp-tender. But they're also good quite well-cooked, almost browned. -Lavonne Hartel Williston, North Dakota

STIR-FRIED CARROTS AND PARSNIPS WITH SPICY PORK



Stir-Fried Carrots and Parsnips with Spicy Pork image

I based this on a Cantonese dish my dad would make when I was growing up. He would take hours chopping, dicing and slicing and then throw it all into a boiling hot wok and dinner would be served within two minutes. I think he loved the cinema of this type of cooking. I miss him and the dish so much that I came up with a simplified weeknight version of it. Don't like spicy food? Simply omit the red pepper flakes. Serve this with bowls of steamed rice.

Time 25m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon canola oil
1 pound (16 ounces) ground pork
Kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 large cloves garlic, grated on a rasp grater
2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch rounds
1 large or 2 medium parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch rounds
1 large knob ginger, grated to equal about 2 tablespoons
5 ounces (half a 10-ounce package) frozen peas, defrosted
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar, plus more if needed
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoons white sesame seeds, toasted
4 scallions, thinly sliced, green and white parts both
Cooked rice for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook the pork: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the oil. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, break the pork into small pieces, add the pork in an even layer and season generously with salt and the red pepper flakes. Brown and cook the pork until the pink is gone, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add the vegetables and finish: Stir in the garlic, carrots and parsnips and continue stirring and cooking until the vegetables are tender and mixed in, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the ginger, peas and vinegar with the hoisin. Shut off the heat and taste for seasoning. Add more vinegar and/or salt if needed. Stir in the sesame seeds and scallions. Serve immediately, with cooked rice if desired.

PARSNIP AND CARROT CHIPS



Parsnip and Carrot Chips image

Provided by Cynthia Nims

Categories     Vegetable     Fry     Super Bowl     Kid-Friendly     Root Vegetable     Carrot     Parsnip     Poker/Game Night     Pan-Fry     Party     Small Plates

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 large carrots (about 1 pound)
2 large parsnips (about 1 pound)
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 teaspoon kosher salt or flaky or coarse sea salt
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh thyme

Steps:

  • After peeling one of the carrots, use the vegetable peeler to peel away long strips from the whole length of the carrot, allowing the strips to drop into a large bowl. Turn the carrot in your hand about one-quarter turn after every 4 or 5 strips, so you'll generally have strips of similar width and length overall. Do the same with the remaining carrots and the parsnips, both of which have a tough core that should be discarded once you get there (the color tends to change slightly).
  • Pour about 2 inches of oil into a large heavy saucepan (the oil should not come more than halfway up the sides of the pan). Bring to 375°F over medium heat.
  • While the oil is heating, combine the salt and thyme in a small dish and rub them together between your fingers for a bit to release the aromatics of the thyme.
  • Carefully add a handful of the vegetable strips to the oil and fry until lightly browned and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Use the back of a slotted spoon to gently press the strips down into the oil and spread them out a bit to help ensure even cooking. When crisped, lift out the strips and scatter them on paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining vegetable strips, allowing the oil to reheat between batches as needed.
  • Transfer the chips to a serving bowl, sprinkle the thyme-salt mixture over them, and serve. They will be best served shortly after frying.

ROASTED CARROTS AND PARSNIPS WITH ROSEMARY AND GARLIC



Roasted Carrots and Parsnips with Rosemary and Garlic image

Parsnips are carrots' sweeter cousins, with a rich, nutty flavor. Though they don't pack the beta-carotene that their orange relatives offer, they're a good source of vitamin C and folacin. Because the core can be woody, I always remove it; this can be a tedious task but it's worth it.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 1h

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 pound parsnips, peeled
1 pound carrots, peeled
Salt and freshly ground pepper
4 plump garlic cloves, peeled and lightly crushed
3 or 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Oil a sheet pan or a baking dish large enough to fit all of the vegetables in a single layer. Cut the carrots and parsnips into 3-inch lengths. Quarter the fat lengths, and cut the thin ends into halves so that the pieces are about the same size. Cut away the cores from the parsnips. Toss with the garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary sprigs, and olive oil until all of the vegetables are coated with oil.
  • Spread in an even layer in the prepared pan or baking dish. Cover with foil and place in the oven for 30 minutes. Turn the heat down to 375ºF and uncover the pan. Stir gently, and continue to roast until lightly browned, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from the heat, and serve.

SKILLET -ROASTED CARROTS AND PARSNIPS



Skillet -Roasted Carrots and Parsnips image

It's best to use parsnips less than an inch wide as wider parsnips tend to have tough, fibrous cores that are best trimmed and discarded. Using warm water will help the sugar dissolve more readily. This recipe is based from a recipe I acquired by Cook's Country
