Try This For Thanksgiving

Hey everyone.  From now until Thanksgiving I will be posting a recipe a week featuring different Weiser produce that you could make for the big Thanksgiving meal.  So make sure to check back here once a week to check out the new recipe.  Anything we can do to make your Thanksgiving prep a little easier is our pleasure.

This week we are featuring parsnips.  Parsnips look like a white carrot, taste mild, and are sweet. They are really delicious, often overlooked and underrated.  Try out this recipe for herbed butter parsnips that will taste great along side a turkey:

Herbed Butter Parsnips*

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 pounds parsnips, peeled and sliced into circles
• salt and freshly ground black pepper

Herb Butter

• 1/2 pound unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup mixed chopped fresh herbs, like chervil, parsley and chives
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Put the olive oil and butter into a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the vegetables and toss to coat them well with the fat; season with salt and pepper. Add 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the Herb Butter by combining the soft butter and herbs together; season with some salt and pepper.

To serve, spread some Herb Butter in the bottom of a bowl. Add the hot vegetables and dot with more Herb Butter. Moisten with some of the cooking liquid and serve.
