I’m a huge soup fan as well as a parsnip fan. I made the Waitrose roasted carrots and parsnips with harissa. I was feeling a bit devil me care so just added everything to the roasting tin rather than all the separate steps. I added a few tablespoons of water after about 20 minutes so the veg could steam a bit and then finish roasting. Worked perfectly without the faff. I was only talking about revisiting Sri Lanka for a holiday on Sunday. We went the summer before the awful tsunami. Anyway, I like the sound of the spice mix so will give it a go. Thank you
I really hope you enjoy it, both the spice mix and the return trip, I'd love to go and do *all* the eating! I figured that with the vegetable recipe -- I do understand why they've written it like that, but there is an effort vs. everything else payoff I think needs to be met, especially in a side dish! I've actually got the clementine soy glazed ribs from over the page in the oven right now, and whilst I'm very suspicious of them at the moment (I picked the recipe because the blitzed whole citrus in the marinade thing intrigued me) as they smell a bit bitter! But again, so many steps, if they end up being delicious another one to simplify.
I really enjoyed this, Rachel, especially as I just happen to have a vegetable drawer filled with parsnips and was wondering how to use them up. I’m intrigued with the idea of using them in dessert too--never thought of it, but it makes sense since they’re sweet! Thanks for your endless store of ideas and recipes!🤗
I enjoyed this, Rachel, but I’m leaving this challenge up to you two, for the reason I mentioned in Ruth’s latest story on lentil soup: parsnips are just not my jam! Report back to me later. 👩🍳
Who knows, in a cake where they don't taste so 'parsnipy' and are just there for sweetness and a certain something you can't quite put your finger on you might even enjoy them!
Enjoy -- and do let me know what you think of them! Parsnip really is one of those vegetables where even people who love them don't really step outside of the traditional preparations -- I'm just gutted I can't bake with them at the moment now the idea has occurred. I don't have a clue if they were used in bakes before then but I do know parsnip was a popular ingredient in rationing cakes to add sweetness when sugar was in short supply / would have taken weeks of saving the stamps to get enough to mark a birthday with a simple cake.
Well, Rachel, you are inspiring me to see if I can dream up a cake, cookie or other dessert with parsnips. If I come up with something, I will definitely share it. I'm not really a recipe developer, but I'm game for this challenge. Meanwhile, I'm going to try a few of your other suggestions!
It's coming back next week, but the fan setting no longer works. I've got to debate the repair cost vs. a brand new one which I'm not happy about! But it is what it is: pretty essential for my work so I'm not sure if I've got any choice in the matter...!

Okay, now I will REALLY have to do this. 😅

Oh I hope you do - and then I'll be able to give your recipe a go when my nightmare oven situation is even fixed!
I will. Rachel. Sorry about the oven! I’d be gutted too. Hope it gets fixed soon.
