Parsnip Mash With Apple Recipes

CREAMY PARSNIP AND APPLE SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
• Cook onion, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, stir, and cook 1 minute.
• Add parsnips, apples, thyme, salt and white pepper. Stir to combine. Add vegetable broth and stir again.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat (to about medium-low heat) to a simmer. Cover with lid slightly ajar and cook for 15 minutes or until parsnips and apples are tender.
• Off heat, blend with immersion blender until smooth. Add heavy cream and blend again. Note: You can heat through again (after you've added the cream, if needed).
• To serve, divide the soup into bowls and garnish (if desired) with chives. Enjoy!

APPLE-PARSNIP MASH

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine parsnips, apples, and the water. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and cook until parsnips are completely tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer mixture to a food processor, add butter, and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Reheat in pan over medium if necessary before serving.

PARSNIP MASH

Steps:

• Peel and roughly chop 2 pounds parsnips. Cook in boiling salted water until soft, about 20 minutes; drain. Puree with 3 tablespoons butter; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with grated parmesan.
• Use a food processor or immersion blender to puree these veggies-they're too fibrous for a potato masher.

MAKE-AHEAD PARSNIP-APPLE MASH

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook parsnips in a single layer until just golden on bottoms, about 10 minutes. Flip, and add apples, water, and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt. Raise heat to medium-high, and simmer, covered, until parsnips and apples are very soft, about 20 minutes.
• Remove from heat, and let stand, covered to retain moisture, until slightly cooled, about 5 minutes. Puree mixture in a blender until smooth. With machine running, add remaining tablespoon butter.
