CARROT, PARSNIP AND POTATO COLCANNON



Carrot, Parsnip and Potato Colcannon image

Carrots and parsnips, whose flavors are quite similar, outweigh the potatoes in this sweet, light colcannon. Because parsnips can be fibrous, this is one instance where I recommend straining the mixture or putting it through a food mill.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 45m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 ounces Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed
1 pound carrots, peeled, quartered, and cut into 3-inch lengths
1 pound parsnips, peeled, quartered, cored and cut into 3-inch lengths
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 medium leek, white and light green parts only, cleaned and chopped
2 to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (to taste)
3/4 cup milk
Freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or chervil (optional)

Steps:

  • Place potatoes, carrots, and parsnips in a saucepan and cover by an inch with water. Add salt to taste, bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and cover partially. Simmer until tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain, return to pot and cover pot tightly. Leave to steam in covered pot for 5 minutes. Peel potatoes.
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil over medium heat in a heavy skillet and add leek. Cook, stirring often, until it begins to wilt, about 3 minutes. Add salt to taste and continue to cook, stirring, until very tender, 3 to 5 more minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Mash vegetables with a potato masher or in a standing mixer fitted with the paddle, or put through a food mill. Combine milk and butter and heat until butter melts. Gradually add to purée, stirring or beating on low speed. Stir in leeks and mix until well blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Put through the fine or medium blade of a food mill, or press through a medium-mess strainer. Garnish if desired with dill or chervil. Serve hot.

ROOT VEGETABLE GRATIN

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish
1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
1 1/4 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons salted butter
10 sprigs fresh thyme
4 cloves garlic
1 Parmesan rind
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 large Yukon gold potatoes (about 1 pound), peels on, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound manchego cheese, grated
3 thick carrots (about 1 pound), thinly sliced
3 thick parsnips (about 1 pound), thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Combine the heavy whipping cream, chicken stock, butter, thyme, garlic and Parmesan rind in a small saucepot. Place over medium-low heat and cook just until simmering, 10 to 12 minutes. Turn off the heat and whisk in the flour. Strain the cream mixture through a colander into a container with a pour spout and discard the thyme stems, garlic and cheese rind.
  • Spread the potato rounds in an even layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour a third of the cream mixture over the potatoes. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 cup grated cheese. Next, shingle half the carrots and parsnips in alternating rows in an even layer. Pour a third of the cream mixture over the top, then sprinkle with salt, pepper and 1/2 cup cheese. Finally, shingle the remaining parsnips and carrots in alternating rows in an even layer. Use your hands to lightly press down on the vegetables to even out, if needed. Pour the remainder of the cream mixture over the top, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Reserve the remaining cheese (about 1 cup).
  • Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake until the vegetables are fairly tender and the sauce is simmering, about 1 hour. Remove the foil and sprinkle the top of the gratin with the remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, until the cheese is lightly browned and the vegetables are tender, another 30 minutes.
  • Cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Vegetable

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

500g waxy potatoes (we used Desirée), sliced wafer thin
1 small parsnip , sliced wafer thin
3 plump garlic cloves , thinly sliced
1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
284ml carton double cream
150ml full-fat milk
350g carrots , sliced wafer thin
50g parmesan , grated

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4/fan 160C and butter a shallow ovenproof dish. Layer the potatoes, then the parsnip in the bottom of the dish with two of the sliced garlic cloves and sprinkle over a little salt and half the rosemary. It's best to keep the potatoes buried under the other vegetables because they go black if they are on top of the gratin.
  • Pour the cream and milk into a large saucepan, add the rest of the rosemary and garlic, the carrots and a little seasoning. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat to the lowest it will go and simmer for 3 minutes.
  • Pour the carrots and cream over the other vegetables, and spread the carrots out. Sprinkle over the parmesan, cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake a further 20 minutes until golden and bubbly.

Tips:

  • Make sure to peel and chop the carrots, parsnips, and potatoes evenly so that they cook evenly.
  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the vegetables. This will help them cook more quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the vegetables. If the pan is too crowded, the vegetables will steam instead of sautéing.
  • Season the vegetables generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Be careful not to overcook the vegetables. They should be tender but still slightly firm.
  • Grate the cheese finely so that it melts evenly over the vegetables.
  • Place the gratin under the broiler for a few minutes at the end of cooking to brown the top.
  • Serve the gratin hot with a side salad or roasted vegetables.
