Parsnip Gratin With Turmeric And Cumin Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Peel parsnips and quarter lengthwise. With a paring knife, remove and discard hard central core. Cut parsnips into 3-inch batons. Parboil for 2 minutes, then drain and spread out on a baking sheet to cool briefly.
• Butter a 9-by-12-inch shallow earthenware baking dish. Arrange parsnips in dish in one layer. Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Whisk together cream, turmeric and cumin. Season with salt and pepper and add a small pinch of cayenne.
• Pour cream mixture over parsnips and sprinkle with feta. Bake for about 30 minutes, until bubbling and nicely browned.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375.
• Put 2 or 3 cups of cream in a pot and heat until it's hot.
• Peel and slice 1 pound each of parsnips and potatoes, and grate 1 to 1 .5 cups Gruyere
• Layer the parsnips, potatoes and cheese in an ovenproof dish, sprinkling every other layer with salt, pepper and thyme.
• Pour in enough hot cream to come about 3/4 of the way up the vegetable layers.
• Cook in the oven, undisturbed, until the vegetables are tender and easily pierced with a fork, 45 to 50 minutes. The top should be nicely brown.
• Let stand for a few minutes, then serve.
