I did this today. Not a success. All the other comments about boiling for ages are true. 250 ml water did not evaporate in 20 mins! I never achieved the sticky effect I expected and hoped for. Surely a better way to achieve this effect would be to coat vegetables in a mixture of olive oil and…

"cover and boil for 10-15 mins until the water has evaporated"

How does this make any sense? 250ml of water is going to evaporate in 10-15 minutes, covered?

Plus the parsnips cook much quicker than the carrots so end up mushy.

The flavours were good though.

If you boil for 10-15 minutes it'll be the consistency of baby food. Boil for 5 minutes UNCOVERED. Check consistency as soon as it softens move to flat baking dish and crisp up in the oven at the broil setting. The flavor is good but the cooking method they have is awful.
