Instructions
- 1
After washing and scraping the parsnips slice them about half of an inch thick.
- 2
Put them in a saucepan of boiling water containing just enough to barely cook them; add a tablespoonful of butter, season with salt and pepper, then cover closely.
- 3
Stew them until the water has cooked away, watching carefully and stirring often to prevent burning, until they are soft.
- 4
When they are done they will be of a creamy light straw color and deliciously sweet, retaining all the goodness of the vegetable.
