Parsnip And Rosemary Risotto Recipes

ROASTED PARSNIPS WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss parsnips with oil and rosemary, then season with salt and pepper. Roast until tender and golden, about 20 minutes, stirring halfway through.

RISOTTO WITH PARSNIPS AND GREENS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Peel the parsnips, quarter them lengthwise, and remove the tough core with a paring knife. Cut into 1/2-inch random shapes, put in a roasting pan, season with salt and coat with 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Roast until tender and lightly browned, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven.
• Remove the stems from the greens and cut them into 1/2-inch-wide ribbons. Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat, add salt and cook very briefly. Drain, cool and squeeze dry. Set aside.
• Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to a heavy bottomed soup pot or large saucepan over medium-high heat, then add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook till softened, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and stir together with the onions until the onions are barely brown, about 2 minutes. Add the white wine or vermouth and cook until it evaporates. Add 2 cups broth and adjust the heat to a brisk simmer. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring well with a wooden spoon every minute or so. When the broth is absorbed, add 1 cup more and continue to cook for another 5 minutes. Stir in the last cup of broth and cook for another 5 minutes, until the rice is cooked, but the grains are still firm. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding another splash of broth if necessary. Turn off the heat.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and the butter in a wide, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sage and let sizzle without browning, about 1 minute. Add the roasted parsnips and chopped greens, season lightly with salt and pepper, and stir to coat and heat through, about 2 minutes more.
• Transfer the risotto to a warm serving dish. Spoon the vegetables over and fold them gently into the rice. Serve with grated pecorino or Parmesan cheese.

ROSEMARY ROASTED POTATOES AND PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C/Gas mark 4).
• Put the potatoes, sweet potatoes and parsnips into a large pot of cold salted water. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to a gentle simmer. Cook for 5 minutes and then drain in a colander. (If you are preparing ahead of time, you can now set the vegetables aside, or keep them in the fridge until you are ready to roast.)
• Pour the vegetable oil into a large roasting pan and heat it in the oven for 5 minutes. Add the vegetables to the hot oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper and add the rosemary sprigs. Carefully toss again.
• Pop the vegetables in the oven and roast for 30 minutes. Turn the vegetables and add the garlic, then roast until the vegetables are crispy and golden on the outside, about 30 minutes more.

PARSNIP AND ROSEMARY RISOTTO

Steps:

• Bring broth to boil in medium saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to low; cover and keep warm.
• Melt 4 tablespoons butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Stir in parsnips and 3 teaspoons chopped rosemary. Cook until parsnips begin to brown, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Add rice and stir 2 minutes. Add enough warm broth to cover; simmer until almost all broth is absorbed, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes. Add more broth, 1 cup at a time, and cook until rice and parsnips are tender, allowing each broth addition to be absorbed before adding next and stirring frequently, about 20 minutes total. Remove from heat; stir in remaining 1 tablespoon butter, remaining 2 teaspoons rosemary, and cheese. Season risotto to taste with salt and pepper.
• Divide risotto among 6 shallow bowls. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and serve.

PEARL BARLEY, PARSNIP & SAGE RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a large saucepan. Add the onion and a pinch of salt, and cook gently for 5 mins. Tip in the parsnips, turn up the heat and cook for 8-10 mins, stirring every so often, until the parsnips are starting to brown and caramelise.
• Add the garlic and sage, and mix through. Tip in the barley and stir to coat well. Pour in the stock, bring to the boil, then turn down to a simmer and cook for 35-40 mins, or until nearly all the liquid has been absorbed and the pearl barley is tender but still has a bite. You may need to add a little extra boiling water.
• Take off the heat, top with the Parmesan and a knob of butter, then leave to melt. Give the risotto a good stir, then spoon into dishes. Top with more sage, Parmesan and some black pepper.
