What can I do with a load of parsnips?

38 replies

ThankYouVeryMuchGerry · 21/03/2023 20:21

I got half a dozen parsnips in my veg box today. The rest of the veg box was Mediterranean veg so thats what I'm basic all my dishes on this week.

What can I do with the parsnips? We have had loads of parsnips in roast veg recently and I am fed up of that now but I'm out of ideas!

Will soup be too bland/sweet? Can I use pesto or blue cheese to liven it up? Also, does anyone have a full proof recipe?

Ideas welcome - TIA :)

HFW light and easy, kale, parsnip, puy lentil and chorizo stir fry - lovely! Drop the condo and replace with some smoked paprika, garlic and salt if you’re veggie

Arse. Autocorrect hates me

condo - chorizo

I like parsnip soup, parsnip risotto or parsnip gratin (cheese sauce) with jacket potatoes.

Nice in a cake instead of carrots

Grate them and add a bit of spice a bit of flour and egg and then fry them and serve with a dip

This soup is amazing, really really easy and delicious.

I also use this recipe and I can second that! Delicious indeed.

Mix with grated potato and make a rosti. Top with fried egg and chutney.

Thirding the soup recipe! Spice works really well with parsnip.

On that basis, I reckon they’d work well in a curry - similar to sweet potato

Parsnip crisps!

You're not the person from that godawful funeral advert are you? 😁

I already made that joke!

But seriously OP - an excellent combination is parsnip and parmesan. Years and years ago, probably about 30 years ago, I used to buy some vegetarian sausages from in a independent health food store which were parsnip and parmesan. Discontinued soon after, like all my favourite foods/perfurmes too, they were utterly delicious, the combination is perfect.

Spiced parsnip soup from bbc website was delicious but double the ingredients.

Yes, another vote for the parsnip and maple syrup cake; it’s divine.

ShadowPuppets · 21/03/2023 21:01

Ive never known a casserole that isn’t improved with parsnips!

Yes to parmesan. I coat parsnips in grated parmesan before roasting them. Delicious.

Parsnip risotto is surprisingly lovely!
