JAMES BEARD'S PUREED PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Place parsnips in a large saucepan; add enough water to cover. Generously salt water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer; simmer until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Puree parsnips in a food processor or food mill. If using a processor, take care not to overprocess or they will become gluey.
• Transfer pureed parsnips to a large bowl; whisk in salt, sugar, melted butter, heavy cream, and Madeira.
• Spoon parsnip mixture into a 1-quart baking dish. Dot top with butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs or chopped nuts. Bake 20 to 30 minutes. Serve.

PARSNIP PUREE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Heat the oven to 400 F.
• Quarter the parsnips lengthwise and lay them on a sturdy baking pan. Drizzle the honey over the parsnips, followed by the oil and the salt. Using your hands, toss the parsnips to ensure they are coated with the ingredients. Arrange the parsnips so there is space between each.
• Place the baking sheet in the center of the oven and roast for approximately 20 minutes until the parsnips are golden brown and soft in the center. Test their doneness by pricking with a small sharp knife; the parsnip should be soft all the way through.
• Leave the parsnips in the pan to cool for about 10 minutes. Chop them into large chunks and either push through a potato ricer or pulse in a food processor just until they become very fine chunks. Don't mash with a potato masher, whip, or over-blend them as they will quickly turn gluey and thick.
• The parsnip puree can now be served as they are, or, if you like, with a couple of tablespoons of heavy cream and/or melted butter drizzled on top for a richer taste.
