CSA member Jane says, “this recipe is another quick one, and a really lovely way to enjoy your parsnips! You can replace the cream with another non-dairy milk like coconut (in which case I would swap out the sage for ginger root). This makes 1-2 side-dish portions. It can also be used to create a puree or soup (both of which I think would be really tasty with the addition of apples – just toss in a cut up skinned apple at the beginning with the parsnip). The soup would also fare well with the addition of some of those lovely Root Radical carrots!”
