Sunny's Holiday Parsnip Puree

Ingredients

• 4 servings pepper black freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons butter 
• 2 cloves garlic smashed
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg 
• 0.3 cup heavy cream room temperature
• 1 tablespoon olive oil 
• 4  parsnips peeled cut into chunks
• 4 servings salt 

Equipment

• food processor
• bowl
• baking sheet
• oven

Directions

1. Watch how to make this recipe.
2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
3. Toss the parsnips, garlic, and olive oil on a baking sheet and season with salt, to taste. Roast until the edges are golden and caramelized, about 20 to 25 minutes. If a check during roasting reveals the bottom of the parsnips are cooking faster than the top, give them a toss and return the baking sheet to the oven.
4. When the parsnips and garlic are roasted, put them into a food processor with the butter, 1/4 cup of the heavy cream and a pinch of nutmeg. Blend the mixture until smooth, and if needed add a bit more heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
5. Transfer the puree to a serving bowl and serve.
