What foods go well with parsnips?

It pairs well with onions, shallots, leeks and garlic, or its old cousin the carrot. Parsnips and carrots pureed together with cream make a side dish that goes with anything. And a historic partnership underlies the old saying "Fine words butter no parsnips." Butter mellows them out The flavor of a parsnip is not delicate. To my palate it is both too strong and too sweet to enhance the stewpot. But it shines as a separate dish, taking the same role as that of a sweet potato: a foil for fatty meats. When roasted or sauteed, its sugars caramelize richly and are well complemented by seasonings such as orange zest, tarragon, rosemary, cumin or nutmeg. Parsnips can be boiled, roasted, baked or deep-fried. When cooked they can be puréed and served on their own as a vegetable, or mixed with another root vegetable purée such as carrot. When roasting parsnips drizzle some honey over them or sprinkle sesame,sunflower, poppy or mustard seeds on top. Parsnips are also used in sweet dishes such as parsnip jam or in desserts. They can also be used to make parsnip wine and in relishes and chutneys. Their characteristic flavour goes well with stews and broths and they can be used to make soups such as curried parsnip or parsnip and apple soup. They will eventually disintegrate when added to stews and casseroles, but their flavour will blend with the other ingredients to enhance the taste. Parsnips can be used in curries, and will soak up their rich flavours when they soften.Parsnips can also be sliced thinly, deep-fried and served as chips or crisps. They can be layered with potatoes and turnips, carrots or apples and served as an alternative to dauphinoise potatoes. Flavours and ingredients that go well with parsnips include carrots, turnips, swede,honey, cumin, apple, turmeric and curry powder. Tada! :) Enjoy!
