dh won an ENORMOUS PARSNIP at an apple festival...what to do with it??

[noonar]

ok, am totally serious. we have one huge organic parsnip, weighing nearly 2kg ( dh guessed its weight within 3g!...gawd life is depessing these days...that was the HIGHLIGHT of the weekend)

anyway, anyone have an easy recipe for parsnip soup...or another idea?

tia

roast some of it? you can do half and half mash, stick it in stews and casseroles..oooh loads of thing!

Get a giant machete to chop it up, fry onions, parsnip till brown, add stock, simmer for half an hour or so, put 1tsp curry powder (or more if you like).

Whizz it thru' blender, add some cream if you have some handy et voila!

Well done to your dh!

Parsnip chips.

God, I love parsnips. Slice it up and roast with some honey. Eat as is, or blitz with stock and cream for soup.

You could slice it, par boil it just a tiny bit, then freeze it, and then roast the slices straight from the freezer when you want to eat them.

Parsnip soup with a little curry powder is yummy, but can't think where my recipe is .

Just peeal and slice, deep fry in oil for about 20 secs, drain on paper towel, sprinkle with salt, cayenne and chilli powder.

hollow it out and wear it as a hat

Alternative halloween lantern?

just kidding. soup it is then.

so funny
if it is that massive I'd say that soup was the only thing for it. it is probably a little tough
