SWEET POTATO, PARSNIP AND TURNIP BISQUE

Steps:

• In a 6-8 quart soup pot saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil until the onion is softened.
• Add the sweet potato, parsnip and turnip and cook until softened, about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil.
• Boil uncovered for 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
• Puree using either a stick/immersion blender or by transferring to a blender and then back to the pot.
• Slowly add the heavy cream into the puree.
• Ladle into bowls and garnish with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped flat leaf parsley.

PARSNIP AND SWEET POTATO BAKE

Steps:

• Peel and slice the parsnips into 1/8" rounds.
• Peel and slice the yam into 1/8" pieces, similar in size to the parsnips (as possible).
• Layer the yams and parsnips. For a pretty presentation, try alternating color rows of each.
• In a measuring cup, make a glaze out of the oleo, OJ, zest, cinnamon and sugar. Mix until well dissolved. Drizzle the glaze over the yam/parsnip mix - cover and bake @ 350 for 40-45 minutes.

ROOT VEGGIE BISQUE

Steps:

• Pierce the rutabaga, turnip, sweet potato, parsnips, and beet with a fork. Place all vegetables in a large, microwaveable bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 10-12 minutes, or until each of the veggies are soft to the touch.
• Cut peels off of each of the veggies; discard. Place half of peeled vegetables in a large blender with half of vegetable broth and cream. Blend until smooth and completely pureed. Pour mixture into medium saucepan. Repeat with remaining vegetables, broth and cream.
• Heat over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until steaming and hot. Serve topped with sour cream and bacon bits.

SWEET POTATO AND PARSNIP PUREE

Steps:

• Place the potatoes and parsnips in a 4-quart saucepan. Add water to cover. Heat over medium-high heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Drain the vegetables well in a colander.
• Place the vegetables, broth and butter into a food processor. Cover and process until the mixture is smooth. Add the brown sugar, black pepper and chopped chives. Cover and process until the mixture is just combined. Garnish with the additional chives.

SWEET POTATO AND PARSNIP CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Cut the sweet potatoes and then the parsnips into paper-thin slices using a food processor fitted with the thinnest vegetable-slicing blade. If necessary, cut the potatoes in half or quarters lengthwise so they fit into the feeder tube.
• Use 1 tablespoon of the butter to coat the inside of a 2-quart oven-proof casserole (a 6 by 10-inch
• Pyrex pan works well). Combine the cream, stock, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Place
• 1/3 of the sweet potatoes in a thin layer across the bottom of the casserole. Layer half the parsnips on top of the sweet potatoes. Repeat this sequence until all of the sweet potatoes and parsnips have been used. Pour the cream mixture over the top. It should reach about 3/4 of the way up the vegetables. Butter a piece of aluminum foil with the remaining butter and wrap the foil tightly over the casserole. Put in the oven and turn tempertature down to 325 degrees.
• Bake the casserole 1 hour. Remove the foil and continue to cook another 15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender when pierced with a knife and the top is browned. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm.
