Roasted Parsley Root image

Parsley root, found in markets with a large Jewish, German, or Polish clientele, tastes like a cross between carrots and celery. Try roasting it using this recipe from chef Marcus Samuelsson's "New American Table" cookbook for delicious results. Use in his Lamb Stew (pictured), if desired.
