Ingredients

Method

1. Only — very young parsnips are satisfactory for cooking. After washing, they may be cooked whole, or peeled and cut in small pieces before boiling. In the first instance, three-quarters of an hour should be allowed for boiling; in the second, about fifteen minutes. If cooked whole, the parsnips should be peeled and sliced after boiling.
2. Plain — seasoning should be used, and, if desired, the slices of parsnip may be browned in butter in the frying-pan after boiling.
