Method

  1. Chop the parsnips into large chunks. Boil for 15 mins or until really soft, then use a slotted spoon to drain into a colander. Blanch the sprouts in the same pan.
  2. In a bowl, mash the parsnips with the butter and milk, then stir through the sprouts and spring onions. Serve with a knob more butter. Can be chilled for up to a day, or frozen. Simply defrost, then cover and reheat in a microwave, stirring often, until piping hot.

    This was OK, don't think I cooked the parsnips enough though and it was a little bit watery. Will give it another go and add more seasoning and cook the parnips a little longer!

    Simple yet tasty, don´t leave out the spring onions, as they really elevate the texture and the flavours of the dish, lots of black peppar is a must. To avoid watery parsnip mash, cook and drain well, or add some potatoes to the parnsips for a more creamer mash.
