Ingredients 

  • 1/2 lb parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups frozen peas, defrosted
  • Pinch of sugar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions 

  • Place the parsnips in a saucepan with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover with cold water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook until tender when pierced with a fork, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and return the pan to the stove.
