Mustard & Honey Parsnip Mash Recipe
Parsnips are a sweet-tasting vegetable, sometimes to the extent of being a little bland. Here, their sweetness is rounded out with a dash of honey and balanced by punchy wholegrain mustard. Serves 4 as a side dish.
Method
Place a large pan over a gentle heat, add the butter and let it melt.
Next, add the parsnips, stir well and increase the heat to medium, then cook until the parsnips start to caramelise at the edges (about five minutes). Spoon the honey into the pan and cook for another minute, then pour in the milk. Gently bring the pan up to the boil, then turn down the heat, put the lid on the pan and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the parsnips have become tender.
Take the pan off the heat, add the mustard and season to your taste with salt and pepper, then give everything a good mash with a potato masher. Serve straight away, or put it into a covered dish and refrigerate until needed (be sure to reheat thoroughly before serving).
