Parsnip and pear pure
Photography by Photography by Roberto Buzzolan.
INGREDIENTS
600 grams parsnips
2 ripe pears
60 grams long grain white rice
1 clove garlic, crushed
enough milk to generously cover parsnips
1⁄2 cup cream, warmed
METHOD
Peel and slice the parsnips, peel, core and slice the pears and place both in a saucepan with the rice, garlic, and milk. Season well. Bring to the boil then reduce the heat and simmer until the parsnips are very tender. Stir occasionally to ensure the rice doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot. The mixture will be curdled – don’t worry – it purées beautifully.
Using a blender or food processor, purée in batches until perfectly smooth, adding a little warm cream to loosen the mixture.
Transfer to a bowl and taste for seasoning. Reheat in a pot or microwave if preparing ahead.
