Parsnips With Bacon Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Toss parsnips with oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast, tossing occasionally, until parsnips are golden and tender, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions until 1 minute before it's al dente. Drain.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the bacon until crisp, about 5 minutes; use a slotted spoon to transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the pan.
• Return skillet to heat and add leeks. Cook in remaining bacon fat until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and cooked bacon. Simmer mixture until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir in pasta, parsnips and cheese. Simmer until heated through and cheese is melted, then remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper; toss with parsley. Serve drizzled with olive oil, with plenty of black pepper on top.

Steps:

• Slice the cooked parsnips lengthwise into 1/3" strips.
• Arrange one layer of parsnips in a greased baking dish.
• Sprinkle with cheese& breadcrumbs, alternate parsnips with the cheese and crumbs, distribute evenly until the parsnips are all in the baking dish (usually 2-3 layers depending on the size of the parsnip).
• Pour inenough milk (cream) until it reaches half the depth of the parsnips.
• Cut bacon in tiny cubes and sprinkle on top.
• Thirty minutes before dinner pop the casserole into a 400 degree F oven.
• The Dish is ready when the bacon bits are crisp and the dish is bubbling.
• Enjoy.

Steps:

• Fry bacon until crisp, drain on paper towels, and reserve.
• Place the parsnips in a saucepan of salted boiling water, and cook until soft. Drain parsnips, mash with 2 tablespoons of butter and season with salt and pepper. Add diced bacon. Wet your hands and shape the mixture into 6 cakes. Dip each cake into the flour, then the egg, then the bread crumbs to coat.
• Heat the oil and remaining 2 tablespoons butter (or reserved bacon fat) in a large skillet. Fry the cakes until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Serve cakes immediately, sprinkled with crispy bacon.

Steps:

• Heat the oil and butter in a frying pan over a medium heat, until the butter has melted and is sizzling, then fry the sage for a minute or so until darkened and slightly translucent. Transfer to a sheet of kitchen paper using a slotted spoon. Set aside.
• Fry the capers in the pan for 1-2 mins until puffed and crisp - be careful as they may spit. Transfer to the kitchen paper with the sage using a slotted spoon.
• Add the bacon or pancetta to the pan with a drizzle of oil, if the pan is dry. Fry until the fat has been rendered out and the bacon is just starting to colour. Add the parsnips and fry for about 5 mins until softened and turning golden at the edges.
• Cook the linguine in a pan of boiling water following pack instructions, or for about 8-9 mins, until just cooked.
• Meanwhile, pour the sherry over the parsnips and bacon, and simmer until the alcohol has almost entirely evaporated. Season with salt and a squeeze of lemon juice - only a few drops, so as not to overpower the dish. Season with a good grating of nutmeg, then stir in the parmesan. Add a ladleful of the pasta water to the pan and stir until you have a creamy sauce. Drain the pasta and set aside.
• Stir the crème fraîche into the sauce and simmer until slightly reduced. Add the fried capers, sage and the linguine, then toss to combine. Heat everything together for 1-2 mins, then remove from the heat, season well with black pepper, and divide between plates. Top with extra parmesan and a grating of orange zest, if you like.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Sauté bacon in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to large bowl. Stir in parsnips and 1/4 cup hazelnuts. Arrange mixture in even layer in 2-quart baking dish. Combine whipping cream, broth, salt, and pepper in medium bowl. Pour over parsnip mixture in dish.
• Bake gratin 30 minutes. Press down on parsnips with spatula to moisten evenly. Continue baking until parsnips are tender and liquid bubbles thickly, about 35 minutes longer. Let stand 10 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining hazelnuts and sage.
