A dear friend of mine headed out of town this week. While I always miss her when I don’t get to see her, she passed along her weekly CSA allotment before she left. In it was a lovely assortment of local, organic, seasonal produce, including beets, lots of greens, eggplants, and a bunch of parsnips.

Parsnips are an often overlooked root vegetable. While they’re only sporadically available in most mainstream markets, we can usually find them at our local health food store as well as seasonally at our local farmer’s market.

Parsnips are sweet, like a beet or a carrot. They are high in fiber and in vitamin C. And, they can be prepared in a variety of ways. Parsnips make a wonderful addition to a tray of roasted vegetables, and I remember my grandmother serving them to us sautéed in butter.

For tonight’s dinner, I decided to purée them, as the sweet and smooth combination sounded like the perfect taste and texture to accompany the savory roast I have slow-cooking in my slow cooker.

Here’s my simple recipe:
