I have been so intrigued by the wonderful parsnips available at the moment (see the soup that I made yesterday) that I made a great mash using them.
Parsnips cook quicker than the more dense carrots, so you can either add the parsnips a little time after the carrots, or, like me, love the texture of mashed parsnips with partly mashed carrots.
It is so very easy. Take about 2 or 3 good sized carrots and the same number of good sized parsnips. If they are small, use more. Peel and slice them, and steam or boil them together until cooked. Mash them together with a large piece of butter, about 1 – 1.5 Tblspns. Add salt and pepper and serve. Delicious.

You know, I have not cooked much at all with parsnips. I used them in a root vegetable cobbler once, but that’s about it. I wonder if they’re more popular overseas than here in the U.S. You have definitely piqued my interest with your last two posts. I may have to seek some out at the grocery store next time I’m there.
Maybe this winter you can look for good, fleshy ones and try them again. They are an English veggie, really, and do well in cold weather. Keep a look out and maybe they will come your way.

Another new recipe for us to try. To be quite honest I don’t think I’ve ever had parsnips.
