Julia Child Creamed Parsnips - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups water
1/8 teaspoon salt
6 medium parsnips, peeled and grated
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup cream

Preparation

Combine water and salt and heat over medium to simmering to dissolve; add parsnips and cook until soft, about 20 minutes.
Drain well, then put into a food processor together with the butter and cream and whir until smooth.
Pour into a double boiler and heat gently over medium for 15 minutes.
Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and serve immediately.
Notes: for a lowfat version, you can use Butter Buds and evaporated skim milk instead of butter and cream; a pinch of nutmeg is also a nice addition.
