Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 6 - 8 medium sized parsnips peeled and cut into large chunks
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- In a large pot of salted water, boil the peeled chunks of parsnips until tender and you can stick a fork through them, about 8 - 10 minutes.
- Mash the cooked parsnips with a fork or potato masher, then add the butter and let it melt.
- Add the buttermilk.
- Now it's time to purée. I use my immersion blender to make the mixture smooth, but you can also use a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth.
- Stir in the chopped fresh chives, transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy!
