PARSNIPS and PEARS.

 

A smooth, sweet puree that’s equally at home beside the roast or spooned on top of

potato pancakes instead of applesauce.

Ingredients

 

• 3 ripe pears, peeled, cored and diced
• 3 Tbs buttermilk, yogurt, or half and half
• 3-4 medium parsnips, peeled and diced
• 1/8 tsp ground cardamom or nutmeg
• water
• salt and pepper to taste

 

Place pears and parsnips in a small pan and add about ¼ cup of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and

cook until parsnips are very soft, about 15 minutes. Drain. Using blender or food processor, lightly puree pears and

parsnips with remaining ingredients. About 4 servings.
