This tasty little side dish was inspired, again, by the veggies received in our weekly veggie box.
Parsnips!
But knowing Mr BBB is not a fan of parsnip, I had to get creative.
And, I am pleased to report that with the help of 3 other ingredients, he not only ate the parsnips, but even went back for seconds!
Those 3 ingredients?
The juice and zest of 1 orange, butter and maple syrup.
Poured over the sliced parsnip, and simmered until the liquid had mostly evaporated.
The result? lovely buttery sticky parsnip with a kick of orange and sweetness from the maple syrup.
Perhaps not the healthiest of side dishes, but certainly a tasty one!
We served the parsnip alongside some grilled tofu, salad and a small potato topped with leftover bolognaise sauce.
A rather random mish-mash for dinner, but the parsnips were a clear stand out – in all their buttery goodness.
What about you? Are you a fan of parsnip?
He went back for seconds huh? Clearly a winning dish :) I haven't used parsnips in anything other than soup but perhaps I should re-visit them.
ReplyDeletelove parsnip - and this sounds excellent - though I don't usually eat them very plain - I love them in soups and stew! I love the term "random mish mash" sounds like a lot of dinners here
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love parsnips, we grew up eating these with swedes and turnips. Parsnips make a gorgeous silky soup too, yummo!
