Apple Glazed Parsnip Puree
Ingredients
675g (1 1/2 lb) parsnips, peeled or scrubbed and chopped into chunks
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large cooking apple
Juice of half a lemon
15 ml (1 tablespoon) soft brown sugar
Directions
- Steam, boil or microwave the parsnips in a minimum of water. Drain, then mash to a puree and season well. Spread half of the puree over the base of a shallow gratin dish.
- Peel, core and very thinly slice the apple. Cover the puree with half the apple slices. Repeat these layers once more, arranging the remaining apple slices neatly on the top and sprinkling over the lemon juice and sugar.
- Bake in a pre-heated moderate oven, 180 degrees Celcius (350 degrees Fahrenheit), for about 30 minutes, or until the apple slices are soft and beginning to brown.
