Mashed Turnips & Parsnips
This side dish is rich and comforting, thanks to the combination of turnips, parsnips and fresh herbs.
Ingredients:
3-4 turnips, peeled and cubed
3-4 parsnips, peeled and cubed
3 tablespoons butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons fresh herbs of your choice, such as parsley, oregano and thyme, chopped
1 cup milk
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper
Method:
1. Add the turnips and parsnips to a large pot of cold salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until soft and tender, about 20 minutes.
2. In a small saucepan, add the butter over medium-high heat. Once melted and foamy, add the garlic and herbs and sauté until the garlic is fragrant and the butter begins to brown. Season with salt and pepper. Add the milk and bring to a simmer.
3. Drain the turnips and parsnips in a colander in the sink. Add the turnips and potatoes back to the pot they were cooked in. Add the hot milk mixture and roughly mash the vegetables. If you prefer a smoother texture, use an immersion blender and purée until smooth and silky. Taste for seasoning, and add salt and pepper if needed.

Root Ribbons with Sage
This stunning salad from local chef Jerry Traunfeld adds just a touch of sweetness to winter vegetables.
Ingredients:
2 pounds root vegetables, such as parsnips
3 tablespoons butter
¼ cup coarsely-chopped sage
1 tablespoon maple syrup
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper
Method:
1. Wash and peel the parsnips and discard the peelings. Continue to peel the parsnips from their tops to the root tips to produce ribbons, rotating the roots on their axis a quarter turn after each strip is peeled, until left with cores that are too small to work with.
2. Melt the butter with the sage in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir for a minute to partially cook the sage. Add the root ribbons and toss them with tongs until they begin to wilt. Add the salt, a good grinding of black pepper, the maple syrup, lemon juice and about ½ cup of water.
3. Continue to cook the vegetables over medium heat, turning them with tongs every minute or so, until all the liquid boils away and the ribbons are glazed and tender, about 10 minutes total. Serve right away, or cool and reheat in the skillet when ready to serve.
