My Grandfather used to grow parsnips in abundance, and they were always served at dinners in abundance. My Grandfathers used to coated in goose fat and sprinkled with a light sprinkling of salt and freshly ground black pepper. They were the most delicious vegetables I had ever tastes as a child, and it is with some regret that parsnips bought today never really live up to expectations. That said I came up with a modification recently that really did lift the most lifeless shop grown offerings – and it was the recipe below.
