My absolute favorite way to eat parsnips is pan fried. It is so simple and easy. It reminds me of my dear grandmother who introduced them to me years ago. They are wonderfully sweet and yummy. This is what real food is all about. Simple food prepared with nice clean refreshing flavors that linger.

1. Peel the parsnips and boil them in lightly salted water until tender this should take about 6-8 minutes.
2. Cool slightly until they can be handled and slice each parsnip lengthwise into 1/4 inch slices
3. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat
4. Add the parsnips and cook until lightly brown (about 4 minutes)

I love to cook my food in cast iron. This is one of those things recipes that I use my cast iron skillet for. Lodge is the best cast iron company as far as I am concerned. Check it out, you can buy a starter set from Amazon. Watch for an upcoming post on how to care for your cast iron.

I'm so glad I saw this recipe! Do you think maple syrup might be an ok substitute for brown sugar? Or maybe coconut sugar? Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you are inspired. Yes coconut sugar or maple syrup would be really good, or leave out the sugar all together which I sometimes do.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for linking up with the Let's Get Real hop. We hope you'll link up again this week.
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm totally ashamed to admit this, but I've only eaten parsnips once...maybe twice. I think I'll add some to the garden this year! I love that something so simple is the heart of what real food is!
