Butter Fried Parsnips Recipes

Steps:

• Put the olive oil and butter into a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the vegetables and toss to coat them well with the fat; season with salt and pepper. Add 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the Herb Butter by combining the soft butter and herbs together; season with some salt and pepper.
• To serve, spread some Herb Butter in the bottom of a bowl. Add the hot vegetables and dot with more Herb Butter. Moisten with some of the cooking liquid and serve.

Steps:

• Wash, trim and scrape the parsnips.
• Cut into uniform pieces and boil in salted water, 25 to 30 minutes or until tender.
• Drain well, and let dry.
• Just before serving, heat the butter in a skillet and saute over moderate heat until light brown on all sides, letting the parsnips caramelize a little in their own sugar. It is best if you have a large enough pan that they can be cooked in a single layer.
• Season with the nutmeg, salt and pepper and serve in a warm vegetable dish, garnished with parsley.

Steps:

• Scrape the parsnips, and cut into thin sticks about a quarter of an inch thick and three inches long. Discard the woody core of each parsnip.
• Drop the parsnips into a saucepan of boiling salted water, and cook until they are almost tender (about 3 minutes). Remove and pat dry with paper towels.
• Melt butter in a large frying pan. Sprinkle parsnips with salt and pepper, and add to the butter. Fry over medium heat until the parsnips are crisp and golden. If necessary, add more salt. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat milk in a large pot over medium heat until warmed and just under a boil; add parsnips and 1 teaspoon salt, cover with a lid, and cook until parsnips are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain parsnips, reserving the warm milk.
• Mash parsnips, 1 cup reserved warm milk, butter, thyme, and pepper together in the pot using a hand mixer or by blending in a blender. Add more milk, salt, or pepper as desired.
