These were wonderfully creamy. And, I loved the addition of bacon. Some horseradish may go nicely in these too. These are a great side dish to serve when having company for dinner.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb parsnips, peeled and sliced
4 slice thick cut bacon, chopped
4 Tbsp parmigiano-reggiano, grated
2 c heavy cream
1 1/2 c milk
1 bay leaf
2 sprig(s) thyme, fresh
2 Tbsp butter, unsalted
2 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
1 small shallot, minced
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Salt and pepper sliced parsnips liberally. Place them in a pot and cover with cream and milk.
  • 2. Add bay leaf, crushed garlic and thyme to the pot. Bring pot to a low simmer, watching cautiously and stirring frequently so the cream does not singe to the bottom on the pot. Simmer for 15 minutes or until parsnips are tender.
  • 3. Meanwhile in another pan fry bacon until crispy. Add minced shallot to bacon and toss until translucent. Remove from heat and drain excess fat. Set aside.
  • 4. Once parsnips are tender, strain parsnips from the cream, reserving the excess cream. Remove and dispose of bay leaf and thyme sprigs.
  • 5. In a food processor or with an immersion blender, puree parsnips with butter. Add some of the excess cream you cooked the parsnips in if you need to thin out your puree.
  • 6. Add crispy bacon and Parmesan to the puree, pulsing lightly to incorporate into puree.
  • 7. Salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

This recipe is missing some important information. It doesn't say how long to cook the parsnips.
