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.

PARMESAN-BAKED PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Begin by combining the flour, Parmesan, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Peel the parsnips using a potato peeler. Then halve and quarter them lengthways and cut each length in half across, so that you end up with smallish chunks. Cut out any tough woody centres. Now pop the parsnips in a saucepan, pour in enough boiling water just to cover them and add salt. Put on a lid, bring them to the boil and boil for 3 minutes. Meanwhile have a large kitchen tray ready. Then, as soon as they are ready, drain them in a colander and, whilst they are still steaming, drop a few at a time (with the aid of some kitchen tongs) into the flour and parmesan mixture, shaking the bowl and moving them around so that they get a good even coating. As they are coated transfer them to the tray. Make sure you do them all fairly swiftly as the flour mixture will only coat them whilst they are still steamy! When they're all coated they are ready to cook or store in the fridge or freeze. Any leftover flour and Parmesan can be kept (sifted) in the fridge or freezer for another time. What is important is to have plenty in order to coat the parsnips quickly. To bake them, place a large solid roasting tin in the oven to pre-heat and in it put enough oil just to cover the base and a knob of butter for flavour. Then, when the oven is ready, remove the tin and place it over direct heat (turned fairly low) and, again using tongs, place the parsnips quickly side by side in the tin. Tilt it and baste all the parsnips with hot fat, place the tin in the oven and bake them for 20 minutes, then turn them over, drain off any surplus fat (a bulb baster is good for this) and continue to bake for a further 15-20 minutes or until they are crisp and golden.

ROASTED PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450.
• Peel the parsnips and cut into french-fry sized sticks, avoiding the woody center.
• Toss parsnips with remaining ingredients, and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Roast until the edges brown, and the parsnips are tender, about 20 minutes.

ROASTED PARSNIPS AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• If the parsnips and carrots are very thick, cut them in half lengthwise. Slice each diagonally in 1-inch-thick slices. The vegetables will shrink while cooking, so don't make the pieces too small. Place the cut vegetables on a sheet pan. Add the olive oil, salt, and pepper and toss well. Roast for 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the vegetables, tossing occasionally, until the parsnips and carrots are just tender. Sprinkle with dill and serve hot.

• Sprinkle the parmesan over the vegetables and stir it in, lay the rashers of panchetta over the top and return to the oven for further 10 mins.
• Remove from oven and lay pancetta aside for the garnish.
• Mix the vegetable mixture into the hot stock and puree until smooth.
• season to taste.
• Reheat gently without boiling and serve topped with a spoonful of double cream and 1/2 slice of pancetta on top.
