Parsnip Mash With Apple Recipes

MAKE-AHEAD PARSNIP-APPLE MASH

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook parsnips in a single layer until just golden on bottoms, about 10 minutes. Flip, and add apples, water, and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt. Raise heat to medium-high, and simmer, covered, until parsnips and apples are very soft, about 20 minutes.
• Remove from heat, and let stand, covered to retain moisture, until slightly cooled, about 5 minutes. Puree mixture in a blender until smooth. With machine running, add remaining tablespoon butter.

APPLE-PARSNIP MASH

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine parsnips, apples, and the water. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and cook until parsnips are completely tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer mixture to a food processor, add butter, and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Reheat in pan over medium if necessary before serving.

PARSNIPS AND APPLES WITH MARSALA

Steps:

• Peel the parsnips and halve them lengthwise, if very thick. Peel and core the apples. Chop the parsnips and apples into 1-inch pieces.
• Melt the butter in a large, heavy skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the parsnips and apples and cook, stirring continuously, until evenly coated with the butter, about 2 minutes.
• Add the sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring continuously, until the sugar melts, about 2 minutes. Pour in the Marsala, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add enough water to just barely cover the parsnips (about 2 cups). Bring to a simmer again, adjusting the heat as needed, then cover the pan and continue to simmer until the parsnips are just crisp-tender, about 20 minutes.
• Remove the lid, increase the heat and bring the liquid to a boil, reducing it until it turns into a syrupy sauce coating the parsnips and apples, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley, if using.
