Parsnip Purée With Sautéed Brussels Sprouts Leaves Recipes

Steps:

• Put parsnips in a pot, season with salt and cover with milk and cream. Add garlic, bay and thyme then place over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Cook until tender, the tip of a paring knife should easily go through without resistance - about 12 to 15 minutes.
• Place parsnips in a food processor with butter and pour in enough of the milk mixture to puree the parsnips and achieve the texture of whipped cream. Season with salt and pepper then finish with a sprinkle of parsley.

Steps:

• Put parsnips in a pot, season with salt and cover with milk and cream. Add garlic, bay and thyme and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until tender, the tip of a paring knife should easily go through without resistance, about 12 to 15 minutes. Strain and reserve liquid.
• Place parsnips in a food processor with butter and pour in enough of the reserved milk mixture to puree the parsnips and achieve the texture of whipped cream. Season with salt and pepper then finish with a sprinkle of parsley.

Steps:

• Put parsnips in pot, season with salt and cover with water. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Cook until tender - the tip of a paring knife should easily go through without resistance, approximately 15 minutes.
• In a medium saucepan place the cream, thyme sprigs and garlic cloves over low heat and bring to a simmer.
• Drain parsnips and reserve cooking liquid. Place parsnips in a food processor with butter, or extra-virgin olive oil and a couple of tablespoons of reserved cooking liquid. Begin to process and add strained heavy cream mixture. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and puree until very smooth.

Steps:

• Slice parsnips as thin as possible. Use a mandoline if you have one, on the thinnest setting.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add parsnips, garlic, spices, and salt. Saute on medium to low heat until parsnips become tender and transparent. The parsnips have a tendency to absorb the oil, so be prepared to add a little more if the parsnips begin to stick to the bottom. Do not cook too fast. You want them to get thoroughly cooked without getting burned.
• When the parsnips begin to look done, add the butter and sugar. Continue to saute until slightly browned.

Steps:

• Rinse and drain sprouts and cut about 1/4 inch off the stem end of each, then begin peeling leaves; when difficult to peel farther, trim off another 1/4 inch and continue removing leaves.
• Repeat to peel all leaves from sprouts; discard cores.
• Place a 10-12 inch frying pan over medium-high heat; when hot, add olive oil, shallots, sprout leaves, parsley and fresh or dried thyme.
• Stir until sprout leaves are bright green and slightly wilted but still crunchy, about 3 minutes.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Mix salad dressing, brown sugar, and thyme together in a small bowl.
• Mix Brussels sprouts, parsnips, and red onion together in a 13x9-inch baking dish. Drizzle dressing mixture over the vegetables and toss to coat.
• Bake in preheated oven until vegetables are tender, about 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Steam the brussels sprouts until tender but not soft, about 6 minutes. Set aside.
• When the sprouts are just cool enough to handle, slice in half and pulse in a food processor until finely chopped.
• Heat the cream until almost boiling and add to the sprouts with the butter. Process until smooth. Add 1 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon white pepper and a pinch of nutmeg, blend well and adjust seasonings to taste. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225°F.
• Place the flour on a large plate or pie pan for dredging. Season the fish lightly with salt and pepper (skate can sometimes be salty, so go easy on the seasoning). Dredge the fish in the flour, coating both sides well.
• Heat a large sauté pan over high heat for 2 minutes. Swirl in 2 tablespoons olive oil and wait a minute. (You will probably need to cook the fish in two batches or two pans.) Place the fish in the pan and cook about 3 minutes, until the skate is nicely browned. Turn the fish over, turn the heat down to medium, and cook another minute or so. Transfer to a rack set on a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven.
• Pour the oil from the pan and discard it. Wipe the pan clean, and return it to the stove over medium heat. Swirl in the butter and cook 3 to 4 minutes, until it browns and smells nutty. Turn off the heat and add the balsamic vinegar. Swirl the pan to combine the vinegar with the butter, and season with salt and pepper to taste. (Be careful not to burn your tongue!)
• Spoon the hot parsnip purée onto a large warm platter. Place half of the hot Brussels sprouts over the purée, and arrange the fish on top. Scatter the remaining Brussels sprouts over and around the fish. Stir the parsley into the balsamic brown butter, and spoon the sauce over the fish.
• Parsnip purée
• Place the potatoes and parsnips in two medium sauce pots. Add 1 tablespoon salt to each pot, and then fill the pots with cold water. Bring both pots to a boil over high heat, then turn down the heat and simmer until tender.
• When the potatoes and parsnips are cooked through, strain them and set them aside to cool for a moment. In a small saucepan, heat the cream and milk together, and then turn off the heat. Pass the potatoes and parsnips through a food mill or potato ricer, and transfer to a heavy-bottomed pot. Stir over medium heat with a wooden spoon to dry them out. Then, slowly, add in the chunks of butter, stirring all the while with the wooden spoon. Season with 2 teaspoons kosher salt.
• When all the butter has been incorporated, slowly stir in the warm cream mixture until you have a smooth purée. Taste for seasoning and pass through a fine-mesh tamis if you like.
• Balsamic-braised brussels sprouts with pancetta
• Heat a large sauté pan over high heat for 2 minutes. Swirl in the olive oil and butter, and wait another minute. Add the Brussels sprouts, and season them with 1 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Shake the pan, rolling the Brussels sprouts around to help them brown evenly. After a few minutes, turn the heat to medium, and cook another 3 to 4 minutes, until the sprouts soften slightly.
• Add the diced pancetta to the pan and cook a minute or two, until it starts to crisp. Stir in the shallots and garlic, and cook another minute or so, until they're translucent. Pour in the balsamic vinegar and reduce by half. Add the veal stock and reduce to about 1/4 cup, stirring and shaking the pan often to glaze the Brussels sprouts. If you start to run low on liquid before the sprouts are cooked, add a little water to the pan. Serve immediately, or transfer to a baking sheet to cool.
• Note
• You can make the parsnip purée and balsamic-braised Brussels sprouts ahead of time and then gently rewarm them right before serving.
• Wondra flour, a finely milled flour available at most supermarkets, gives a delicate crust. But if you can't find it, all-purpose flour will do.

Steps:

• Boil parsnips until tender, about 10 minutes; drain and mash.
• Place parsnips in a food processor. Add butter, ginger, salt and pepper and blend. Add cream or half-and-half as needed until purée is smooth.
• Adjust seasoning. Ginger should be present but not predominant. Serve.
