Parsnips!!!

tescodisco

parsnips are lush in a veg curry

fry some onions until they are a bit burnt arond the edges ( seems wrong but will enhance taste coniderably! properly is a thing in indian cookery)
Add chopped parsip, carrot, squash, pumpkin etc
plus some curry powder..... and/or mix of bit of cumin, coriander, tumeric.... plus garlic and ginger and either chili or cayenne pepper. Could add some lentils, depends what end producy you're going for.

Also add some apple, or sultanas etc, whatever you have. (please note this would make genuine indians turn in their graves, but it tastes nice!)

Then add some chicken stock (made from cube) and/or water and a tin of tomatos
it's all to taste so quite free and easy. you can mae it into curry or tagine at this stage depending upon ingredients.

cook it for as long as is sensible and then if it's a curry add some cream or yogurt etc. Could also add tin of chickpeas or soem cashews etc.

sorry - am really drunk - maybe this isn't the best post ever - but irts well meant!

by indians I don't mean any kind of bad thing -just mean my best friend serena who is sikh and inds fruit in curry to be a english thing.

But despite that I like it!

I hate fruit in curry too, apart from a bit of lime pickle as a side dish.

in general, I think you can use parsnips anywhere you would usually use either carrots or potatoes (wihtin reason)
plus parsnips are more pleasing to peel. or is that just me?

How about fusing the two dishes and make Roasted Parsnip Soup. (Don't laught - I ate it in a restaurant once and it was nice). I don't know how to make it but if I were to have a stab I would follow a recipe for potato soup and substitute pots for roast parsnips. HTH


I once order what I thought was 1 BAG of potatoes from tesco and received one very sad and lonely ONE Potato. sniff sniff

I ordered 12 baking potatoes from Tesco's for a BBQ - guess what I ended up with 12kg :eek:

To roast parnsips, parboil in milk for 2-3 mins, place on baking tray and drizzle with olive oil. Roast on top shelf of oven gas mark7 for 20-25 mins in total (if they are thin, longer if thicker) - removing 10 mins before the end and drizzling with honey if you like it (we do lol).

Lovely recipe for apple and parsnip soup:

450g parsnips
225g apples - cored
100g onions
50g butter
1 pint veg stock made with 2 veg stock cubes
2 bay leaves
1/2 - 3/4 pint milk

chop parsnips, apples and onions and soften in butter in covered saucepan for 10-15mins.

Add the veg stock and bay leaves and simmer until all soft (15-20mins).

Remove bay leaves and liquidise with stick blender until smooth, add the milk and return to heat and warm gently. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Really tasty and easy peasy to make!!

I got 3 x 500g bags of parsnips in Tesco last night for 8p each!!! What can I do with them? Does anyone have a recipe for a parsnip soup? I think I remember there being a curried parsnip soup around at one time but I can't remember what it entailed.

Parsnip crisps also really tasty - just cut the parsnips really thin - helps if you have one of those mandolin (?) thingies. Then deep fry them! Yum yum:D
