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.
  • Add the butter, and once melted, add the peas and sugar. Cook until the peas are heated through, 2 to 3 minutes, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving dish and serve immediately.
