Parsnips with Gorgonzola

Homemakers Best Tested
By
Andrew Chase
The sweetness of parsnips is enhanced by the piquant taste of Gorgonzola cheese. Serve this dish as an appetizer, lunch or supper with a loaf of crusty bread and a green salad dressed with a tart vinaigrette.

Ingredients

6 parsnips (2 lb/1 kg), peeled
2 tbsp  (30 mL)  butter
2 green onions, finely chopped
7 oz  (200 g)  Gorgonzola cheese
1/4 tsp  (1 mL)  black pepper

Preparation

In large pot of boiling salted water, cook whole parsnips in salted water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain; halve lengthwise. In large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat; cook parsnips until lightly browned on both sides, 5 to 8 minutes.

In lightly greased baking dish large enough to fit parsnips snugly, arrange parsnips, cut sides up; sprinkle onions over top. Break up cheese and distribute evenly over parsnips; sprinkle with pepper. Bake in 500F/260C oven until cheese is very lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes.

Makes 4 main-course or 6 appetizer servings.
