Are you looking for something authentically Irish to serve with your St. Patrick's meal? Then you might want to give our Irish Pureed Carrots And Parsnips a try!
Why not take a virtual trip with us to Doolin, Ireland, where we started our Irish adventure, while you are eating your delicious side dish.
All I knew from the menu, when I ordered my dinner, was that I would be getting a vegetable. My side dish of vegetables actually was in it's own little side dish. I recognized the green beans but didn't know what was beside them. I knew they tasted amazing though. I asked the waitress what I was eating and she said it was carrot and parsnips seasoned with salt, pepper and honey.
I have to say, my first attempt at copying this recipe was surprisingly very good! So, I would love to share it with you so you can enjoy it as much as I did!
Pureed Carrots And Parsnips
(serves 4)
Ingredients:
1 lb. carrots, peeled and sliced
1 lb. parsnips, peeled and sliced
1 tsp. honey
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
Steam peeled and sliced carrots and parsnips for 8 minutes.
Put steamed vegetables in a food processor or blender. Add 1/2 cup of water and blend to desired consistency. (Add more water if you want a smoother texture or less for a chunkier one.)
Transfer pureed vegetables into a medium saucepan and stir in honey, salt and pepper. Cook on medium heat until warm.
Enjoy!

This sounds great! I love parnips, but they're quite hard to find where I live (Moscow, Russia). Nevertheless, next time I see them in the supermarket, I'll think of your recipe and pick some up and try this. I'm sure it's delicious! Visiting from Blogger's Pit Stop :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting all the way from Moscow, Russia! This is a really yummy recipe and I like to use it in place of a mashed potato. I hope that you will find the parnips and try it!
DeleteI was just at the supermarket - no parsnips :-( They're kind of exotic here! I will find them one day, just have to keep my eyes open! Hope you're enjoying your weekend! :-)
DeleteHmm...I think that a replacing the parsnip with turnip might work in this recipe, although I haven't tried it. Let me know if you do!
DeleteThis sounds like a delicious recipe! Thanks so much for sharing at the Weekend Blog Hop at My Flagstaff Home. I hope to see you here again next week! --Jennifer

ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting your party and for pinning our recipe. It was a little difficult finding the parsnips. Not all grocery stores carry it but eventually I did find it. Good luck and enjoy!
Deleteit's always fun to try out new cuisine in the places where you travel. I've never been to Ireland, but these pureed carrots and parsnips look quite tasty. Thank you for sharing this post in the Talent-Sharing Tuesdays Link-Up 55.

The puree is surprisingly really good! Finding the parsnips is the only tricky part of this recipe.
