Parsnips may not be the flashiest of vegetables, but we love their earthy flavor, especially when they're gussied up with fragrant black-truffle butter. Ingredients:
4 pounds parsnips (8 medium), peeled, quartered lengthwise, and cores cut out if woody |
2 1/2 ounces black-truffle butter (5 tablespoons) at room temperature |
3/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste |
garnish: chopped fresh chives |
Directions:
1. Cut parsnips crosswise into 1- to 1 1/2-inch pieces and cook in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well, then transfer to a bowl and gently toss with truffle butter, salt, and pepper.
2. Cooks' note: Parsnips can be cut 1 day ahead and kept, submerged in water, chilled.
