Parsnips

15 of January 2010

Last spring, the gophers feasted on our parsnips and left only a few for us.

So this year I decided to grow them in containers.  This is what they look like right now, after all the greens froze.

They don’t look like much right now, but there is treasure under the soil!

And this year, George discovered that cooking them in a Dutch Oven makes for a very delicious dish!

All they need is virgin olive oil, salt and pepper.
