Foodie Friday - Autumnal Good


 What do we have here? Apples, carrots and parsnips.  

What would I do with them? 

I would cook the apples, core and dice them, simmer in a little rum, and brown sugar, add a dash of cinnamon, and finish with a knob of butter.  Can be served, hot, warm, or cold.  

Carrots and Parsnips I would cook together.  A lot of Americans are unfamiliar with parsnips.  Parsnips are related to carrots, have a strong and distinctive flavor.  Try them.  I would peel, quarter, and cut the carrots and parsnips into about two inch lengths, and oven roast them tossed with a little oil and salt, about 30 minutes at about 400 degrees F.   

Parsnips are also a good addition to a homemade soup, I would go easy, one goes a long way in a kettle of soup.  Prepare as you would carrots.

  2. I too love parsnips. I make them several times in the winter. I have a dish you'd like with parsnips and pears in a glazed liqueur.

    As soon as I read the word parsnip I wondered how you knew about the vegetable. Very few young people here would know parsnips but it was integral part of roast meat meals when I was young. Onw piece among roasted vegetables is ok. I am not fussed on them as a boiled or steamed vegetable.

  5. As much as I love to cook, I have never done parsnips. That's going to change.
