Spiced Parsnip Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Lightly butter a 9x5-inch or 8x4-inch loaf pan.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, cloves and salt.
• In a separate bowl, mix together both sugars, parsnips, oil, egg and vanilla. Slowly stir the parsnip mixture into the flour mixture.
• Stir in walnuts and spoon batter into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake 55-65 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
• Remove loaf from oven; cool in pan on wire rack.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the oil, turmeric, cumin and maple syrup, then toss with the parsnips on a baking tray and season lightly. Bake in the oven for 30 mins or until soft and slightly blackened - the caramelising will give them more flavour.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Fry the onion in butter until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the parsnips, garlic and curry powder, and fry for a couple of minutes to release the flavors. Mix the bouillon cube into the boiling water, and pour into the saucepan. Stir to remove any bits of vegetable from the bottom of the pot. Simmer for 15 minutes or until parsnips are soft and easy to break with a wooden spoon.
• Remove from the heat, and blend with a hand mixer or immersion blender. Stir in the cream, and heat through. Do not boil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with red pepper flakes or paprika.

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a large saucepan. Add the onion and cook for a few mins to soften. Throw in the garlic and ginger, cook for 1 min more, then add the parsnips and spices. Cook for a few mins until fragrant. Pour over the stock and gently simmer for 30 mins. Add most of the cream, bring to the boil, then turn off the heat.
• Blitz the soup until completely smooth in a blender or with a stick blender. The soup can now be chilled, then frozen for up to 3 months. Serve in bowls, drizzled with remaining cream and the olive oil, scattered with cumin seeds, sliced chilli and coriander leaves.
