sorry that I haven't been around for ages, been a little bit too busy at work, so haven't had any time left to do any gardening, let alone blog about it!
But I had a chance a couple of days ago to see my 'plot', and saw that my parsnip's were looking a bit big. So thought I'd have a quick poke around, and see what the roots were feeling like. Felt the first one I came across, and was a bit shocked by what my fingers were telling me. It felt as though the root was about 10cm's+ in diameter. I thought this couldn't be right, so decided to pull it up to have a look.
And I found this!
It was about a foot long (with a twist in the middle), and really chunky at the top. The picture has a standard size mug used for reference! Now, it's clearly too big, and the wrong shape, for roasting. So I didn't know what to do with. Ran a quick search on google for "parsnip recipe", and found this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/database/honeyroastedparsnips_5334.shtml.Took a while to cut the parsnip up into roastable sized chunks, but once done, the recipe was quite easy to follow, and this was the end result:
The recipe made four bowls full of a delicious sweet soup, with a lovely honey taste. We had two bowls for lunch today (and we both loved it, which was quite a surprise from my wife, who doesn't even like parsnip!). The other servings have gone in the freezer for another day.
