Mashed Parsnips

If you are a mashed potato lover this one is for you! Same consistency and flavors as mashed potatoes but with a hint of carrot as the parsnip is in the carrot family. Great dish in the fall and winter, any time you are craving comfort food!

Ingredient:

4-6 cups of parsnips, peeled and cut into even pieces (as even as you can make it. Obviously- the smaller the piece, the quicker they will cook)

1 Teaspoon of Salt

1 Teaspoon of Pepper

8 cloves of garlic roughly chopped

1 shallot roughly chopped

1/4 cup ghee melted

Boil the parsnips until they are soft all the way through. In a food processor blend the other ingredients together. slowly add the parsnips until all are added. Blend until nicely pureed. 

You can stop there... OR you can put the mashers in a greased casserole dish and brush the top with melted butter. Bake in the oven at 450 until the top is crispy brown. 

These are a great accompaniment to any meat but delicate enough to serve with fish as well!
