WHEATLESSNESS
PARSNIP PUREE
(Scroll down for recipe)


This is a delicious, lo-carb alternative to mashed or whipped potatoes. It has a subtle sweetness that pairs beautifully with many things...shepherd's pie, steak, fish and much more. So creamy and sumptuous it almost feels sinful.
Ingredients
-
2 ½ pounds parsnips, peeled and sliced into 1/4 " rounds or small chunks
-
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
-
3-4 whole cloves garlic peeled
-
1 1/4 cup heavy cream
-
1 1/4 cup whole milk
-
sea salt (I prefer Maldon)
-
Freshly ground black pepper
Bring parsnips, garlic, cream, milk, and butter to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until parsnips are very soft, 10–15 minutes. Uncover and cook until liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Purée until smooth. If too thick, add more milk or cream as needed. You can also drizzle additional melted butter over purée when serving.
