Pureed Parsnips

2 Tbsp butter

4. Place cooked parsnips in food processor and blend adding cooking liquid to get the desired consistency.

The addition of cream or chicken broth instead of the cooking water brings additional flavor and dimension to the dish. Sautéed shallots, green onions or roasted garlic provide delicious alternatives.
