Parsnip Purée

This silky parsnip purée is a sophisticated and flavourful alternative to traditional mashed potatoes. By simmering the parsnips until tender and blending them with unsalted butter and savoury chicken stock, you create a side dish with a delicate sweetness and a velvet-like texture. It acts as an elegant base for roasted meats or charred vegetables, absorbing juices and adding a touch of luxury to your plate.

As a high-protein accompaniment, this dish is surprisingly filling and incredibly simple to prepare. It is a fantastic option for a festive Sunday roast or a quiet weeknight dinner when you want something more refined than a standard root vegetable mash. Seasoned simply with sea salt and cracked black pepper, it allows the natural, earthy sweetness of the parsnips to shine through beautifully.
