Steps:

• In a steamer set over boiling water steam the parsnips, covered, for 8 minutes, or until they are tender.

• Cut the parsnips crosswise into one-inch lengths. Cut each piece lengthwise into half-inch-wide slices. Cut each slice into half-inch rectangular strips. There should be about 3 1/2 to 4 cups.
• Place the pieces in a saucepan and add cold water to cover and salt to taste. Bring to a boil and let cook 3 to 4 minutes.

Steps:

• Wash, trim and scrape the parsnips.
• Cut into uniform pieces and boil in salted water, 25 to 30 minutes or until tender.
• Drain well, and let dry.
• Just before serving, heat the butter in a skillet and saute over moderate heat until light brown on all sides, letting the parsnips caramelize a little in their own sugar. It is best if you have a large enough pan that they can be cooked in a single layer.
• Season with the nutmeg, salt and pepper and serve in a warm vegetable dish, garnished with parsley.
