Parsnips With Black Truffle Butter Recipes

BLACK TRUFFLE BUTTER

Steps:

• Mince the black truffles up very finely. A microplane works well.
• Use a fork to combine the minced truffles with the butter and oil (if using).
• Place the butter on a piece of parchment or wax paper and roll it into a log. Twist the ends to seal.
• Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.

GARLIC BUTTER ROASTED PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450˚F.
• Prepare the Parsnips: Wash and peel (optional) the parsnips. Cut parsnips down the center, longwise. Then cut each half into 3 to 4 batons. From there, cut away any tough, woody core.
• Spread out the parsnips on a large rimmed baking sheet. Set aside.
• Melt butter in a skillet set over medium heat.
• Stir in the garlic and cook for 20 seconds, or until fragrant. DO NOT burn the garlic.
• Remove from heat and stir in the rosemary.
• Pour the garlic butter over the parsnips.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Toss to coat.
• Spread parsnips out in a single layer.
• Roast for 10 minutes.
• Stir the parsnips and continue to roast for 8 to 10 more minutes, or until tender.
• Remove from oven.
• Taste for salt and pepper, and adjust accordingly.
• Garnish with parsley and pepper flakes. Serve.

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.

TRUFFLED PARSNIP & BRIOCHE PUDDING WITH HAZELNUT & THYME BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the parsnips on a baking tray, drizzle with the olive oil, season well and roast for 30 mins or until tender and nicely caramelised. Reduce the temperature to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the cream, eggs, half the butter, half the cheese and half the thyme. Season well, then add the truffle oil, brioche and parsnips, and leave for 10 mins.
• Lightly oil a medium baking dish and tip in the soaked brioche mixture. Heat the remaining butter in a shallow pan and cook until the butter turns brown. Add the hazelnuts and remaining thyme and cook for 2 mins before spooning over the top of the pudding. Cover the dish with foil, and cook in the oven for around 50 mins until puffed up and starting to caramelise. Remove the foil, sprinkle with the remaining cheese and place back in the oven for 15 mins to brown fully. Scatter over the black truffle, if using, add an extra drizzle of truffle oil, the extra thyme and serve.

TRUFFLED PARSNIP & PARMESAN BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Heat a griddle pan and toast the bread for about 2 mins on each side until golden and marked. Rub the cut side of the garlic clove over each piece.
• Heat the butter in a large frying pan. Add the parsnips, season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, then cook over a medium heat, shaking regularly until golden and softened, about 20 mins. Add a splash of water if you need to. Remove from the heat and whizz to a purée in a food processor with both of the oils. Season to taste. Set aside at room temperature if serving on the day. Can be chilled up to two days ahead.
• To serve, top the toasts with the truffled parsnip mix (it should be room temperature), scatter with rocket leaves and parmesan shavings, then drizzle with a little more olive oil or truffle oil.
