This year I have been trying to be healthy. I tried to eat 9 servings of fruits and vegetables a day but that turned into always thinking about when I could get my next serving in. I tried the 9 for a week and now I am back to the 5 a day. I can manage 5 without feeling like I am eating all the time!
I heard this puree mentioned on the radio and never having parsnips decided to try new things. I was surprised by the smell and flavor of parsnips - they have an spice sort of like liquorice and sweetness to them. If you are trying to get your 5 or 7 a day in try this.
Pear & Parsnip Puree
6 c. parsnips, peeled and chopped into 1/2" slices
2 carrots, peeled and chopped into 1/2" slices
4 Tb. butter
2 medium anjou pears, peeled and chopped
1 Tb. cognac
1/2 c. sour cream
1/4 tsp. allspice
salt and pepper to taste
1. Boil parsnips and carrots in water until tender (about 20-30 min.). Drain.
2. While the veggies boil, melt the butter in a small frying pan. Saute the pears 5 minutes over medium heat, then add cognac.
3. In a food processor (or a deep bowl mixer) puree the parsnips, carrots and pears in pulses until smooth. Do not over process.
4. Add the sour cream, allspice, salt and pepper and blend until just mixed.
Serve hot.
Note: I would reduce the sour cream the next time I make this.
