SWEET-POTATO AND PARSNIP PURéE



Sweet-Potato and Parsnip Purée image

The gentle sweetness of this simple side dish goes well with the slightly spicy flank steak .

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
4 parsnips, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup whole milk
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preparation Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and parsnips and boil gently until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain well and transfer to a food processor.
  • Add butter and purée until smooth. Add milk, brown sugar, and salt and blend well. Season with pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes and parsnips: Look for sweet potatoes that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Parsnips should also be firm and have a light yellow color.
  • Peel and cut the vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too large, they will take longer to cook and may not be as tender.
  • Season the vegetables well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good choices. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Roast the vegetables at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and get crispy edges.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If the pan is too crowded, the vegetables will not cook evenly. Make sure there is enough space between the pieces so that they can roast properly.
  • Roast the vegetables until they are tender: The vegetables should be tender when pierced with a fork. If they are not done, continue roasting them for a few more minutes.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato and parsnip puree is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or a main course. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vitamins and minerals, and it is also a good source of fiber. The puree can be made ahead of time and reheated when you are ready to serve it. It is also a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes and parsnips.
