A wonderful combination of sweet parsnips enhanced by the piquant taste of Gorgonzola cheese. Great as an appetizer, lunch or dinner with some crusty bread and a green salad dressed with a tart vinaigrette. I served it as a side dish with a roast of pork. Ingredients:
6 parsnips, peeled (2 pounds) |
2 tablespoons butter |
2 green onions, finely chopped |
7 ounces gorgonzola (200g) |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. In a large pot of boiling water, cook parsnips whole in salted water until tender.
2. This will take about 20 minutes.
3. Drain, halve lengthwise.
4. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat; cook parsnips until lightly browned on both sides, about 5 - 8 minutes.
5. In a lightly greased baking dish fit parnips snugly, arrange parsnips cut sides up.
6. Sprinkle onions over top.
7. Break cheese into pieces and distribute over the parsnips; grind pepper over all.
8. Bake 500F degrees until cheese is very lightly browned, 10 - 12 minutes.
9. Serves 4 as a main course; 6 appetizers.
