Ingredients

  • ½ cup cashews, raw
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 pounds parsnips, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • Kosher salt or sea salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper, freshly ground (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Place the cashews and ½-cup water in a small pot and bring to a boil. Shut off heat, and let them sit for 10-15 minutes.

  2. Wash and peel the parsnips. Cut them into approximately 1-inch chunks, Place in a medium saucepan, and add water to just cover all of the parsnips. 

  3. Simmer over medium heat until most of the liquid has evaporated, and the parsnips are very tender. 

  4. In a small food processor or blender, puree the cashews and their cooking liquid until very smooth, and there are no chunks. 

  5. Use a potato masher to mash the parsnips with the cashew puree and sea salt; season with pepper if desired.
