Parsnip Herb Biscuits Recipes

PARMESAN HERB DROP BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Put the flour, baking powder, salt and garlic powder in a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Add the cold butter and pulse until the dry ingredients and the butter are mostly combined. (If you do not have a food processor, this can be done with a pastry cutter.)
• Add the Parmesan, parsley, oregano and thyme. Drizzle in the milk and pulse (or stir in with a wooden spoon) until the mixture has just turned into a dough. Be careful not to overmix, as the biscuits will become tough when baked if you do.
• Using 2 large spoons, drop 1/2-cup sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. This will make 6 generously sized biscuits.
• Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes, depending on your oven. Brush the warm biscuits with the melted butter. Enjoy!

PARSNIPS WITH GARLIC-HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Peel 1 1/2 pounds parsnips; halve lengthwise and cut into 1-inch pieces. Toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil on a baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast at 400˚ F, tossing once, until tender, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons softened butter, 1 teaspoon minced parsley, 1/2 teaspoon each minced rosemary and lemon zest and 1 clove grated garlic.

HERBED BUTTER PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Put the olive oil and butter into a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the vegetables and toss to coat them well with the fat; season with salt and pepper. Add 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the Herb Butter by combining the soft butter and herbs together; season with some salt and pepper.
• To serve, spread some Herb Butter in the bottom of a bowl. Add the hot vegetables and dot with more Herb Butter. Moisten with some of the cooking liquid and serve.

PARSNIP-HERB BISCUITS

Steps:

• In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the leek and sauté for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
• Preheat the oven to 425˚F.
• In a food processor, pulse the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda until combined. Add the remaining 8 tablespoons butter and pulse until the pieces are the size of fine bread crumbs.
• Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Stir in the cheeses, thyme, and pepper. In a separate bowl, mix together the parsnip puree, eggs, vinegar, and milk. Stir in the leek. Add the parsnip mixture to the cheese mixture and mix until evenly moistened. Turn the dough out onto a generously floured surface. Knead gently until the dough just holds together, about 10 turns. Sprinkle the work surface again with flour and pat the dough into a 1 1/4-inch-thick rectangle.
• Cut the dough into rounds with a floured biscuit cutter or drinking glass 2 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Transfer to two ungreased baking sheets, leaving 2 inches of space between each biscuit. Bake the biscuits for 7 minutes and then rotate the pans in the oven. Bake for an additional 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Let the biscuits rest for 5 minutes before serving.
• Make Ahead
• These biscuits taste best the day they are made, but they will keep for 2 to 3 days in an airtight container at room temperature. They can also be frozen for up to 1 month. Reheat in the oven before serving.

PARSNIP PILAF

Steps:

• Soak the rice in water for 1 hr, then rinse in a sieve until the water runs clear. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with the stock cube in it. Add the rice and lentils, and simmer for 5 mins until just beginning to soften on the outside. Drain well.
• Toss the chunky parsnips with 2 tbsp of the oil, the orange zest, 1 tsp of the cumin seeds and plenty of seasoning in a roasting tin. Roast for 30 mins until golden, then drizzle with honey and roast for 5-10 mins more.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a wide flameproof casserole or deep pan. Fry the onions until softened and browned. Stir in the remaining cumin with the rest of the spices and cook for 1 min, then add the grated parsnips and raisins, and cook for 1 min more. Turn the heat right down and stir in the rice mixture and lemon zest with plenty of seasoning.
• Melt the butter and remaining 1 tbsp oil in the big saucepan you cooked the rice in. Tip in the rice mixture and roughly flatten the surface. Poke 3 steam holes in the rice with the handle of a wooden spoon. Cover the pan with a tea towel, then put on the lid. Cook for 20-25 mins more, making sure the heat stays quite low.
• To make the herb sauce, whizz all the ingredients to a salsa-like mix. Spread the rice on a serving platter, breaking up any crispy chunks from the bottom. Top with the roasted parsnips and herb sauce, and serve with some yogurt, if you like.
