Master organic gardener, Eliot Coleman made these parsnips for me one cold spring Vermont morning with monster-sized roots dug from under the snow-covered ground. They were the best parsnips I’ve ever tasted. He was remarkably carefree with that sweet Vermont butter, but they certainly were memorable!
INGREDIENTS
4 tablespoons butter, preferably clarified, or more, to taste
1 pound parsnips, as fresh and plump as possible, peeled and sliced in thin rounds
1/2 cup toasted chopped walnuts or pecans
Warm maple syrup
DIRECTIONS
Melt as much or as little butter as diet or conscience allows in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Don’t let it get too hot. Add the parsnips and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until golden all over from their caramelizing sugars. Served covered with the nuts and maple syrup.
