NEW WAYS WITH PARSNIPS

If you have a glut of parsnips, try these inventive ideas

RÖSTI

Instead of potatoes, use the same amount of grated parsnips (find a rösti recipe on bbcgoodfood.com). Serve with smoked trout or salmon and horseradish crème fraîche.

MASH

Swap out half the potatoes in your usual mash for parsnips – lightly crush them before folding with the potatoes. It’s an ideal mash topping for a rich and meaty cottage pie.

GRATIN

Layer thinly sliced parsnips in a baking dish with cheesy sauce and leeks. Top with breadcrumbs and more cheese, then bake for a special veggie side.
