Cheesy Parsnip Bake Food

CHEESY ROOT VEGETABLE GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400˚F. Grease a 3 quart baking dish with butter.
• Slice sweet potato, parsnips and beets into very thin rounds (using a mandoline is easiest) and transfer each vegetable to its own bowl.
• Pour 4 tablespoons cream over each sweet potatoes and parsnips, and 2 tablespoons cream over beets. Top each bowl of sliced vegetables with ½ ounce grated Parmesan and 1 teaspoon minced thyme. Season each bowl generously with salt and pepper and toss together until all vegetable slices are well coated.
• Pour remaining 1/4 cup cream into the bottom of a 3 quart (oval) baking dish and sprinkle with ½ ounce of Parmesan and minced garlic.
• Grab a stack of sweet potatoes and line them standing up on a bias, at the top of the baking dish. Follow the sweet potato with a row of parsnips, followed by a row of beets. Repeat with the remaining sweet potatoes, parsnips and beets, creating 6 rows of root vegetables.
• Season top of gratin with salt, pepper and sprinkle of remaining Parmesan.
• Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes or until vegetables are soft.
• Uncover gratin and top with shredded gruyere.
• Place gratin back into oven, uncovered, and continue to bake for an additional 18 to 20 minutes or until vegetables are fork tender, cheese has melted and the top has lightly browned.
• Finish with a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves. Serve.

CREAMY PARSNIP & MUSTARD GRATIN

Steps:

• Slice enough parsnips thinly lengthways to cover the surface of a small ovenproof dish, then slice the rest thinly into rounds. Combine the milk, cream, stock, mustard and half the cheese in a large, lidded saucepan and bring to the boil. Add a good grating of nutmeg and some seasoning - the sweet parsnips can take a bit of salt - then tip in the parsnips. When the cream is simmering again, cover and cook for 6 mins.
• Using tongs, fish out the long slices of parsnip and set aside. Tip the rest into your dish, then arrange the long slices over the top. Scatter with the rest of the cheese and another grating of nutmeg. Can be chilled for up to 24 hrs.
• To serve, heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4 and bake for 1 hr, then turn up to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 and brown for 15 mins more - you can do this while the pie is resting.

PARSNIP, POTATO & ST GALL CHEESE GRATIN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Use a Japanese mandolin or sharp knife to slice the parsnips and potatoes very thinly. Layer the parsnips and potatoes in a shallow gratin dish, sprinkling some cheese and onion and a little drizzle of the cream over each layer, seasoning with salt and pepper as you go. The top layer should be potatoes and parsnips with a final sprinkling of cheese and drizzling of cream.
• Cover with foil and bake in the oven for 2 hrs, alongside the pork. Remove the foil and continue to bake for 20 mins until golden. For a really golden brown top, finish under a hot grill if you like.

PARSNIP POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Layer the potatoes, onions, parsnips and 3/4 cup cheese in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish; set aside. In a small saucepan, combine the flour, salt, pepper; gradually whisk in cream. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat; pour over vegetables. Sprinkle with remaining cheese., Cover and bake at 375° for 30 minutes. Uncover; bake 20-25 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender and top is golden brown.

CHEESY PARSNIP BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190 degrees C or 375 degrees F.
• Cook the lentils and parsnip in boiling water for 10 minutes or until just soft. Drain well.
• Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion. Stir into the lentil mixture and season well.
• Put the lentil mixture into a greased serving dish. Mix all the remaining ingredients together and sprinkle them evenly over the lentils.
• Bake for 30 minutes then serve with salad.

EASY CHEESY BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190C/gas 5/fan 170C and butter a shallow 2-litre dish. Tip the spinach into a colander in the sink and pour a kettleful of boiling water over it. Leave it to wilt while you make the cheesy base. (Or microwave the spinach according to the packet instructions.)
• Break the eggs into the bowl of a food processor, pour in the milk, add the mustard and 1 tsp salt. Tear in the bread, crusts and all, then whizz together until smooth. Tip the mixture into a large bowl and grate in three-quarters of the cheese.
• Squeeze the spinach, to get rid of all the water, then stir it into the cheese mixture and tip into the dish. Grate over the remaining cheese, top with the tomato clusters and bake for 30-35 minutes until risen and golden. Cool and allow to settle a little before serving.

BAKED PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Place parsnips in an ungreased 2-qt. baking dish; dot with butter. Add water. Sprinkle with the oregano, parsley, salt and pepper. Cover and bake at 350° for 45 minutes or until tender.

ROAST PARMESAN PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Mix together the polenta, Parmesan and nutmeg, and set aside. Bring a pan of salted water to the boil, tip in the parsnips and cook for 6 mins or until just tender. Drain. While parsnips are still hot, toss with the Parmesan mixture to coat.
• Set a roasting tin over the hob and heat the oil. Add the parsnips and turn to coat in the oil. Put the tin in the oven and roast for 15 mins, then turn the parsnips over and cook for 15 mins more until golden.

SWEET POTATO & PARSNIP BAKE

Steps:

• Boil the sweet potatoes and parsnips for 20 mins in salted water until tender. Drain really well, then roughly mash with half the crème fraîche and half the sage, the mustard and salt and pepper. Pile into a buttered ovenproof dish and smooth over.
• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Mix the breadcrumbs with the Parmesan, pine nuts and remaining sage. Spoon the remaining crème fraîche over the mash, scatter over the bread and cheese mixture, then bake for 35-40 mins from fridge-cold, 25-30 mins if not, until golden.
