PARSNIP PURÉE
SERVES 4 TAKES 25 mins
Ingredients:
500g parsnips, peeled and chopped fairly small
100ml Co-op double cream
150ml whole milk
1 bay leaf
2 tbsp honey from the Love Local range
Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
Method:
1. Put the parsnips, cream, milk and bay leaf in a saucepan and bring to the boil gently over a medium heat. Turn down to a simmer, then cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the parsnips are tender. Keep an eye on the pan as the cream and milk can easily boil over.
2. Remove the bay leaf and purée the mixture in a blender or with a stick blender. Stir in the honey and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg (if using). Roast in the oven for 45-50 minutes or until crisp and golden.
