Best Parsnips With Almonds Recipes

PARSNIPS WITH ALMONDS

Steps:

• Cook parsnips in boiling salted water until almost tender.
• Drain well.
• When they are cool enough to handle, cut each one in half across its width, then quarter these halves lengthways.
• Heat butter in a frying pan and cook the parsnips and almonds gently, stirring and turning carefully until they are lightly flecked with brown.
• Mix together the sugar and spice, sprinkle over the parsnips and stir to mix, then trickle over the lemon juice.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper and heat for 1 minute.
• Serve sprinkled with chopped parsley.

PARSNIP SOUP WITH TOASTED ALMONDS

Steps:

• Heat butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook shallots, parsnips, and potato, stirring occasionally, until almost tender, about 10 minutes. Season with 2 teaspoons salt. Add water, and simmer, partially covered, until vegetables are tender, 13 to 15 minutes.
• Puree mixture in a blender with cream until smooth. (For safety, remove cap from hole in lid, and cover with a dish towel to prevent spattering.) Divide soup among 4 bowls; sprinkle with almonds. Season with pepper.

PARSNIP CRISPS

Steps:

• Heat peanut oil in a 5-quart Dutch oven over high heat to 370 to 375 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, scrub the parsnips to remove any excess dirt. Lay the parsnip flat on a cutting board, and using a vegetable peeler, peel off 4 to 5 flat, wide noodle-shaped strips. Rotate the parsnip 90 degrees and repeat. Continue to rotate until you can no longer peel strips. Repeat with the remaining parsnips.
• Gently add a small handful of parsnips to the oil, stirring gently, until lightly browned and crisp, approximately 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Remove the crisps from the oil using a spider or slotted spoon; hold over the pot and allow to drain for 30 seconds. Transfer to a cooling rack set over a half sheet pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper, if desired. After the first batch, the oil temperature may drop. Adjust the heat in order to maintain a minimum temperature of 325 to 350 degrees F. Repeat until all parsnips are cooked. Serve warm or at room temperature. Once completely cooled, store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
