These are an interesting alternative for mashed potatoes. This dish has a sweet nut-like flavor and really goes great with spare ribs, roast pork, roast beef and duck.
Steam unpeeled parsnips until very tender, 25-30 minutes, then the skin will practically slide right off.
Split them lengthwise, take out the little core that’s near the top of the vegetable, and mash them.
Add a little butter.
Condiments of choice are cinnamon, tarragon leaves, thyme or ginger.
