Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Wash the chestnuts first and boil them in plenty of water.
  2. Peel the parsnip and cut into pieces. These can also boiled but I prefer steaming. They also need 20 minutes. So I use a cooking pot with steaming basket. But you can cook them seperately as well.
  3. Let the chestnuts cool for about 5 minutes and peel them. It's easiest when they have not cooled down too much.
  4. Mash the parsnip. Mix the chestnuts and parsnip with a small kithenaid or immersion blender.
  5. Add the herbs, spices, olive oil, maple syrup and the milk or water. For fatfree replace the oil for extra maple syrup or water.
  6. In the meantime (about 5 to 10 minutes before the chestnuts and parsnips are done): fry the mushrooms in a dash of oil on high heat. Or bake in a littlle bit of water 'Medical medium style'. Do not cut the mushrooms too small: they will shrink.
  7. Press the garlic. When the mushrooms have shrunk, add the garlic, herbs and spices. Mix well.
  8. Add the mapple syrup and let thicken a bit.
  9. Dress the plate with the puree (I used a ring). Serve the mushrooms on or next to the puree. Top with the sauce and some fresh herbs.
