Pureed Parsnips Recipes

PARSNIP PUREE

Steps:

• Peel parsnips, trim and cube parsnips.
• Place in a boiling pot of salted water (about 2 tsp of salt for a large pot of water). Boil until softened. Remove from heat and carefully drain water when soft.
• Add parsnips to a blender and add milk, butter, salt and pepper.
• Blend until smooth. Serve immediately.

HORSEY PARSNIP PUREE

Steps:

• Place the parsnips and potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two.
• Place the vegetables into a food processor, and process until smooth. Add the milk and horseradish; season to taste with salt and pepper. Process until mixed.

PARSNIP PUREE

Steps:

• Put parsnips in pot, season with salt and cover with water. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Cook until tender - the tip of a paring knife should easily go through without resistance, approximately 15 minutes.
• In a medium saucepan place the cream, thyme sprigs and garlic cloves over low heat and bring to a simmer.
• Drain parsnips and reserve cooking liquid. Place parsnips in a food processor with butter, or extra-virgin olive oil and a couple of tablespoons of reserved cooking liquid. Begin to process and add strained heavy cream mixture. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and puree until very smooth.

PARSNIP AND CARROT PUREE

Steps:

• Place the parsnips and carrots into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain; return vegetables to pot. Turn heat to low, stir in the chives and 3 tablespoons of butter.
• Begin to puree mixture using an immersion blender. Add 3 tablespoons of butter and continue to puree until mixture is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

PARSNIP PURéE

Steps:

• In heavy large pot combine parsnips with enough cold water to cover. Place over moderately high heat, cover, and bring to a boil. Continue boiling until tender, about 30 to 45 minutes. Drain. Working in 2 batches, pureé hot parsnips, butter, and chicken stock until smooth. Transfer to large serving dish, stir in salt and pepper, and serve immediately.

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.
