Spiced Parsnip Bubble Squeak Food

SPICED PARSNIP BUBBLE & SQUEAK

Steps:

• Tip the parsnips into a pan of cold water with the turmeric and a little salt and boil for about 12 mins until they are on the brink of collapsing. While the parsnips are cooking, blanch the cabbage or sprouts in another pan of boiling water for 3 mins until tender, adding the peas for the final min, then drain well.
• Drain the parsnips well, then tip back into the pan and roughly mash with the lemon juice and half the butter. Then beat in all the other ingredients except the remaining butter, and season with salt. Heat the remaining butter in a non-stick frying pan about 28cm in diameter, and press the parsnip mixture into the pan. Cook until crisp underneath, then turn over with a fish slice. (Don't worry if it breaks at this point, it will hold eventually.) Keep cooking until crisp on the other side, then slide onto a plate and flip back into the pan again. Keep on doing this until you have a crisp, puck-shaped cake. Serve on a plate or board, cut into wedges.

PARSNIP BUBBLE & SQUEAK HASH

Steps:

• Cook the parsnips in a large pan of boiling salted water for 10 mins or until just tender, then tip in the cabbage and cook for a further 3 mins. Drain well, then return to the pan and roughly mash with half the butter, a good grating of nutmeg and some seasoning.
• Melt half the remaining butter in a frying pan, then tip in the parsnip and cabbage, pressing down to make a giant pattie. Fry for 5 mins, then dot the rest of the butter on top and flash under a hot grill until golden and the edges are crispy. Serve straight from the pan.
