Heavenly Creamy Parsnip Puree

A simple and creamy parsnip puree that highlights the parsnip’s natural sweetness and buttery texture, perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds parsnips, peeled and cut into uniform chunks
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/4 cup butter, plus extra melted for garnish
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep the parsnips: Peel the parsnips, slice off the stem and root tip ends, and cut them into evenly sized pieces.
  2. Cook the parsnips: In a large pot, combine parsnip pieces, minced garlic, and bay leaf with enough water to cover them by one inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Boil until tender: Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook until the parsnips are fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and discard the bay leaf.
  4. Blend the parsnips: Return the cooked parsnips to the pot and add room temperature butter and Greek yogurt. Blend until smooth.
  5. Season to perfection: Taste the puree and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
  6. Garnish and serve: Transfer to a serving dish, drizzle with melted butter, and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For a nutty flavor, consider using high-quality grass-fed butter. This puree can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge.
