Smashed Parsnips with Mascarpone Cheese

By emtoothfxr

made for mini thanksgiving. Family loved them but I thought the other flavors overpowered the snip flavor a little bit.

Ingredients

• 1 pound parsnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 onion, diced
• 1/2 cup mascarpone
• 1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley leaves
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Directions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the parsnips. Cook until the parsnips are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.

Heat a pot over medium-high heat and add the butter and sugar. Allow to melt together. Add onions and saute until caramelized, 6 minutes.

Add parsnips to pot. Turn heat off and add the mascarpone. Stir together and mash, adding parsley, salt and pepper.
