Whipped Parsnips
          

A parsnip is a root vegetable that looks like a fat, white carrot. Europeans (the British liked them, the French didn't) brought parsnips to the U.S. in the early 1600's and were first enjoyed by American Indians. Their peak season, when they're the sweetest is fall and winter. They good for a little iron and vitamin C. If you've never tried them, try them!


      Ingredients

1 bunch parsnips (about 4 – 5)
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons light cream or milk
1 teaspoon brown sugar
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese


      The Recipe

Trim and peel parsnips, and cut them into chunks. Boil until tender and mash them just as you would potatoes, with butter, milk or cream and a little salt and pepper. Stir in brown sugar and Parmesan cheese and heat through.

The other night, I used whipped parsnips as a bed for Cajun scallops and I put tomato slices all around it. What a dinner!
