Parsnips With Gorgonzola - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 parsnips, peeled (2 pounds)
2 tablespoons butter
2 green onions, finely chopped
7 ounces gorgonzola (200g)
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Preparation

In a large pot of boiling water, cook parsnips whole in salted water until tender.
This will take about 20 minutes.
Drain, halve lengthwise.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat; cook parsnips until lightly browned on both sides, about 5 - 8 minutes.
In a lightly greased baking dish fit parnips snugly, arrange parsnips cut sides up.
Sprinkle onions over top.
Break cheese into pieces and distribute over the parsnips; grind pepper over all.
Bake 500F degrees until cheese is very lightly browned, 10 - 12 minutes.
Serves 4 as a main course; 6 appetizers.
