Thank you for the how to cook parsnips video. You’ve convinced me to grow parsnips, and now I know how to cook parsnips. There are not many how to cook parsnip videos out there.
You're correct when you say "Parsnips don't get no respect!" I don't understand it. I have cooked parsnips in a manner similar to your demonstration before too and I love rosemary and thyme sprinkled on them as they sauté in butter. The microwave aspect of the process is an interesting idea which I will have to try. You've inspired me to go get some out of my neighbour's cellar where I store mine (my cellar is too warm) and have some for supper tonight. Thanks for another enjoyable video.
I put the parsnips in melted butter over a very low flame. When they are brown and soft, they are ready. I slice them too before I cook them. I love them. Just ate some !
Your cooking videos are great, Greg! I love the flat smaller lid for holding heat...wonderful tip. I must have had a bad experience with parsnips as a child bc I would never try them as an adult. Over 60 years later and I grew them this year and recently harvested and sauteed them. How delicious! Sweet and flavorful...who knew?
Maritime Gardening Nice one, with the drying of the parsnips mate. Removing the moisture make a difference, especially if deep frying. We ABSOLUTELY LOVE parsnips over here in the UK. There are dishes I will not make if I don't have them. Greetings from England.
Hi Greg, thanks for the video. We are having parsnips tonight, but hopefully I’ll have them in the oven in time. If not though, this is a great idea. I store my parsnips in the garage in 5 gallon buckets. I shovel in garden soil and tamp the bottom of the bucket until the soil settles and add another inch of soil over the top. The parsnips stay fresh and never get soft or rubbery. The heavily composted garden soil then gets placed back in the garden in the spring. I get to enjoy fresh dug parsnips when everything outside is frozen solid. Have a great day!
I have done this cooking style with potatoes when it's been really hot weather and the thought of lighting up the oven is unbearable!🥵 But I've not tried it with parsnips... I'll definitely be giving that a go. I love the tip of the smaller lid too... I would never have thought to do that, but it makes perfect sense.👍 12:19 You're so right about parsnips being underrated, they really are even in the UK. I never liked them when I was a child, they were the veg I hated most.🤢 But a few years back I got into making veggie soups... I finally came to the end of my recipe experiments with all veggies except parsnips. So I braved buying some parsnips and tried making a soup by roasting them first and adding a little milk to make it more enjoyable for me. I found when they were blended parsnips taste totally different. So I carried on experimenting with parsnip soup recipes and to my amazement a chronic dry skin condition I had on my hands for 15 years just cleared up... totally gone within two weeks of eating parsnip soup. It also healed my muscles from aches and pains I'd thought was down to ageing, and another long term condition of low blood sugar vanished. My hair grew thicker like I had in my 20's. I'm still eating the parsnip soup today and still free of all those issues... they are a truly amazing vegetable. I've always had a healthy diet, but just never ate parsnips. It's hard to believe that whatever my body needed was only in parsnips! I wish I had realised how miraculous they were when I was younger... it would have saved me a lot of unnecessary suffering.
Greg...I can smell them from here...had mashed parsnips with my roast beef last night. Heading out to the garden to dig up another bed of "snips" this morning! Great video! Have a great day man! Mike 🇨🇦 🍁 👍
Last year my parsnips took three weeks to germinate. If you get no parsnip germination after 25 days, try reseeding your bed. This year I’m considering making a parsnip seed tape using single ply toilet paper and edible glue.
So... I've never eaten parsnips, and have no idea what they taste like. Can you give me a clue? 😯 This recipe looks so yummy I want to try it. Do they grow in warmer climates? We're zone 7a here in south central Virginia. Thanks for the cooking videos they're so much fun!
Yes they will grow where you are - they taste best after a few frosts - so as long as you get a winter with at least frost they'll turn out good. They taste like a carrot, but not quite. The closest thing I can think of is cassava (yucca) - but most people haven't tried that. Somewhere between a carrot and cassava.
@@maritimegardening4887 oh yeah we get too much winter! We're in the foothills and it was 15 degrees last night. Luckily it's kinda cold and warm alternating. I love carrots and my nephew has me roasting all kinds of root vegetables. I going to try these. Thanks
new sub 👍 02:05 any little hairs you see, just take them off 🤫 05:50 I think a pinch is with your fingers, and a dash is out of a container. I watch chefs on RU-vid who salt with abandon. When I do it everything just tastes as salty as hell
boiling bleeds the flavour out of them; and, if you had already boiled them first, why would you then microwave them? In any case, the whole point of using the MW is to speed up the cooking time, but also to slightly dehydrate the parsnips so that they brown up easier when sauteeing.
I don't know why you all insist on doing unnecessary work....I just heat my electric deep fryer to 180 ° F ...(t-fal)and drop my parsnips in..wait till golden brown ..pull them out ...put a butter honey cheese sauce or sauce of your choice .. over & done !!!delicious without all the work & electric expense !!doing parsnips in oven ,I think is the dumbest !
They look delicious. I don't think I could bring myself to put my home grown, organic foods into a microwave. 😕 I know, I'm a little whacky. I don't even own a microwave anymore.
They're still organic when thy come out of the microwave. All microwaves do is excite the water molecules in the food and cause it to boil. That's it. If you're really worried about microwaves you should remove all your cell phones and bluetooth devices from the house - they are bouncing microwaves everywhere - you're microwave, by contrast, is shielded. Also - every time you go outside you are bombarded by radiation from the sun. I just don't worry about it. www.explainthatstuff.com/microwaveovens.html
