Believe it or not, I have never tasted a parsnip. My mother never used them, so neither have I. I see them in the local Co-op and they look a bit like a misshapen swede. What exactly do you do with them and are they worth bothering about?

roast them from raw - then brush a bit of maple syrup on them 15 minutes before dishing them up.

Roast from me as well although boiled with carrots and mashed together is a lovely combination.

One of my greatest regrets in life was not discovering parsnips until I was 36.
Just had them roasted as part of my Sunday dinner. |

Add them to soups and stews near the end of the cooking time, to avoid them going mushy

Carrot and Parsnip mash is a staple, can't believe you've never tried it :)
Turnip and Parsnip is another combination (you can also add carrot) |
|
By:
will for sure be trying this, sounds great

i love my veg, bu not keen on parsnips - too sweet imo.
Roasting prob the best, peel them, no need to parboil, chuck them in withthe roasting spuds with about 40 mins to go. |
|
By:
i just had some with my sunday roast!! mmmmmmmmmmmm
|
|
By:
in a restaurant once I had parsnip shavings with sea bass. They'd basically cut slithers of parsnip and deep fried them until slightly crisp. Very nice.

I've just discovered beetroot after growing my own this year. I've only ever eaten it pickled before but its really easy and quick to grow and beautifully sweet when boiled.
Very under rated like parsnips. |
|
By:
leeks is another one of my favs also.
a roast dinner for me is a must with both leeks and parsnips. |
|
By:
Looks like you have unearthed a forum favourite

By:
I have leeks in my veg basket, again home grown. Any idea's?
I've made Leek and potato soup,**-a-leekie soup and just plain boiled leeks, looking for some inspiration. |
|
By:
leeks are nice in cheese sauce imo
|
|
By:
ovalman, try making a soup with leeks, mint and peas, couple of stock cubes, roberts your uncle.
|
|
By:
beetroot is good for the liver so should be important part of your diet this time of year.
|
|
By:
can't stand leeks, except in soup tbh.
all veg is great in soup though. |
|
By:
leeks are great, very underated .
|
|
By:
Blitz everything after their cooked MM? I've no mint but a freezer full of peas.
|
|
By:
They make good pets. You can even dress them up in old Cornetto wrappers in the Winter.

|

By:

By:
