Course Vegetables

Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds Parsnip
  • ⅓ cup Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • Nutmeg
  • ½ cup Milk

Instructions
 

  • Cut parsnips lengthwise, remove the woody core, and then cut into chunks.
  • Cook 10 to 15 minutes in boiling water (no salt needed) till tender. Drain but don't return to pan just yet.
  • Place the pan over low heat and melt the butter with the cumin, along with a dash of nutmeg and a healthy amount of black pepper. Stir in the milk, heat a bit, then dump the parsnips back in and mash until relatively smooth.
  • Season further to taste and serve hot.

Notes

You can save the water used for cooking the parsnips and freeze for future use in a soup or as a stock, etc.
