Short Parsnips Poems

Swallowing soil's nutrients, they swell up under earth -

round or tubular vegetables of edible wholesome delight!

Carrots, beets and onions steadily fuel the body,

but yams, potatoes and parsnips - baked and buttered -

are the ones I ROOT the loudest for!

Two portabella caps Stems removed deeply and diced.
Frills down in olive oil and butter (with stem pieces)
Pan hot
Flip to frills up
Fill with italian dressing and cheddar cheese
Fry covered at simmer

Steam spinach
Steam parsnips in buttered water
 
Saute two filet mignon wrapped in bacon
 divide equally on two plates

Sip wine and share the joy with friends...

I’ve just made some bubble and squeak
Fried leftover food, it’s unique
I add cooked green sprouts
In massive amounts
No wonder I fart for a week!

*Bubble and squeak is a traditional British dish (made with left over vegetables and meat from Christmas dinner which are fried together). Mine contained, roasted parsnips, cauliflower, broccoli, roast and boiled potatoes, sprouts and some chopped turkey. Every time you make it it's different.
