Parsnips with Black-Truffle Butter

This elegant vegetarian side dish transforms the humble root vegetable into something truly spectacular. By tossing tender, earthy parsnips with rich black-truffle butter, you create a sophisticated accompaniment that balances sweetness with deep, savoury notes. The addition of fresh chives provides a delicate onion-like finish and a vibrant pop of colour, making this dish as beautiful as it is delicious.

Ideal for a festive Sunday lunch or a special dinner party, these parsnips offer a luxurious twist on a classic British staple. They pair wonderfully with roasted meats or nut roasts, providing a high-end feel with very little effort in the kitchen. For the best flavour, ensure your truffle butter is at room temperature to allow it to melt instantly into the steaming parsnips.
