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 such a nice party!
DeleteThanks for sharing at SSPS #250. Pinned and shared, so as other mentioned should I find all the ingredients will give it a try.
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.
DeleteLove the sound of this and I'm in the UK so easy to get parsnips! #pocolo
ReplyDeleteYes! You probably won't have any problem getting the parsnips then!
DeleteThese goes well with Sunday roast! Thanks so much for sharing and dropping by our linkup party at Fiesta Friday #474. Hope to see you soon again!

DeleteI have discovered that parsnips are the secret ingredient to my beef stew - makes so much difference. I will definitely give this a try with those who gather around the table!
ReplyDeleteParsnips in beef stew. Now that sounds good. Thanks for sharing!
DeleteI've never had parsnips. This sounds fantastic though and I'm bookmarking to try later.

DeleteI bet these are yummy. I've never tried parsnips, but this looks delicious. Thanks for sharing this post at the Will Blog for Comments #30 linkup. Hope to see you next week, too.
ReplyDeleteThis was the first time I tried parsnips. They really work in this recipe. Thanks for hosting!
DeleteThat sounds delicious! I had roasted some parsnips with carrots and butternut squash just a week or so ago when our grocery stores had parsnips on sale for St. Patrick's day and I'm not sure I had ever had parsnips before that. They were so tasty and went well with the carrots so I could see how mashing them together would be really yummy.
ReplyDeleteThe carrots and parsnips do work together well and butternut squash sounds like they would go great mashed into this recipe for a change of flavor.
DeleteTo be honest, I am not one who likes to try new foods. Well, at least prepare them. Now if I would go somewhere and they offer them, I am now more apt to try! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing at Gma'sPhoto | ge•ner•ic Linkup Party . Looking forward to seeing you next Friday!
Take care and best wishes.
You might have to make a trip to Ireland to try this! Thanks for hosting your party.
DeleteHappy Spring to the two of you! Hummm... Irish Pureed Carrots And Parsnips sounds interesting. I've never had parsnips before. This sounds like something I'd like to try.
ReplyDeleteVisiting today from Crazy Little Love Birds 30 #19&20
This was the first time I had parsnips. It is sweet like carrots but slightly bitter. The two veggies make a great combo!
