Cauliflower & Parsnip Puree image

This is a very tasty replacement for mashed potatoes. My boyfriend was absolutely shocked when I told him what the ingredients were and then he asked for seconds. He even commented that he guessed that giving up mashed potatoes would be ok with him if he could have this instead. Oh, did I mention that he's a meat & potato man from Texas? High praise, indeed.

PARSNIP PUREE



Parsnip Puree image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     side-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound parsnips, peeled and sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 clove of garlic, peeled and gently smashed
1 sprig of thyme
1 bay leaf
1 stick unsalted butter
Extra-virgin olive oil
Parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • Put parsnips in a pot, season with salt and cover with milk and cream. Add garlic, bay and thyme then place over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Cook until tender, the tip of a paring knife should easily go through without resistance - about 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Place parsnips in a food processor with butter and pour in enough of the milk mixture to puree the parsnips and achieve the texture of whipped cream. Season with salt and pepper then finish with a sprinkle of parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose the right parsnips: Look for firm, smooth parsnips that are free of blemishes or bruises. Smaller parsnips tend to be more tender and flavorful.
  • Peel and cut the parsnips evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using a parsnip peeler, be careful not to peel off too much of the flesh.
  • Cook the parsnips in a flavorful liquid: This could be water, broth, or even milk. Adding some herbs, spices, or vegetables to the cooking liquid will also enhance the flavor of the parsnips.
  • Don't overcook the parsnips: They should be tender but still slightly firm. Overcooked parsnips will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Season the parsnips to taste: Salt and pepper are always a good starting point, but you can also add other spices or herbs to taste. A little bit of butter or olive oil will also help to enhance the flavor.

Conclusion:

Parsnips are a delicious and versatile vegetable that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you are roasting them, boiling them, or mashing them, there is a parsnip recipe out there for everyone. With their sweet and nutty flavor, parsnips are a great addition to any meal. So next time you are looking for a new vegetable to try, give parsnips a try. You won't be disappointed!
