Ingredients
- 1 pound parsnips (450g) peeled and chopped
- ½ cup milk (120g)
- 2 bay leaves
- 3 garlic cloves peeled
- ½ cup heavy cream (double cream)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¼ teaspoon salt and
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Peel the parsnips and chop into bite-sized chunks.
- Add the parsnips to a large pot of water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat slightly and boil gently for 12 minutes or until soft, then drain.
- Meanwhile, add the milk to a small pan along with the bay eaves and garlic and heat gently to warm, but not boil. Allow it to simmer gently for a few minutes.
- Remove the bay leaves and garlic cloves from the milk and discard them, then add the milk to a blender along with the drained parsnips, cream, butter, salt and pepper.
- Blend until the parsnip puree reaches the consistency of whipping cream. If the puree is too thick, add a little more milk to thin it out.
- Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
- When choosing parsnips, make sure they aren't too floppy and old, so they have more nutrients.
- When seasoning the milk, do not bring it to a boil as it can scorch the milk leaving a burnt taste in the puree.
- If you're using a blender to puree, make sure you place a towel on top to prevent any hot liquid from splashing.
- An immersion blender can also be used to puree the parsnips if you don't have a regular blender.
