Parsnip Gratin :: Chef Mark Cleveland @ Hungry Harvest ::




Difficulty: Easy
Time: 25 mins,
Servings: 4 to 6 as side dish

Two sweet root vegetables pair w/ apples, strawberries & kumquats & arrive at the table w/ the main course.  SPICE HACK:> Keep pumpkin pie spice in your pantry.  It’s a mix of most of our favorite spices all in one spoonful.

Ingredient
Prep Method
1
Medium
Parsnip
Peeled
1
Medium
Yam

1
Can
 Coconut milk

1/4
Cup
Sweet Marsala
Or fruit juice, apple, cherry, cranberry, etc.
1/2
Teaspoon
Pumpkin pie spice

1/4
Cup
Maple syrup




Cut the yam & parsnip into attractive bite sized pieces.  I like bias cut.  Combine with the coconut milk, Marsala, salt, pumpkin pie spice & maple syrup in a skillet and cook for about 10 mins until tender, stirring occasionally.

2
Medium
Granny Smith apples
Fine dice
1/4
Cup
Grapefruit juice

1-2
Teaspoons
Grapefruit zest



Add the apples, grapefruit juice & zest & cook for another 10 mins until everything is tender and most of the liquid is reduced. 


8
Whole
Kumquats
Quartered, seeded
12
Whole
Strawberries
Quartered
1
Tablespoon
Sucanat
Or organic brown sugar, date or pomegranate molasses
1
Pinch
Sea salt

2
Teaspoons
Mint or lemon balm leaves
Opt, julienne


Meanwhile quarter the kumquats, removing any large seeds & combine w the sugar, strawberries & a pinch of salt & mint if desired. 

Load the yam mix into an oven proof serving dish, top w/ the shredded coconut & sliced almonds and put under the broiler for 2 to 3 mins until the top begins to turn golden brown. 




We love to think outside the Harvest box & bring fruits to every course of the meal.  The maple syrup adds flavor & a hint of extra sweetness.  Try this as a traditional gratin using cream or half & half.  If using half & half add a teaspoon of flour or cornstarch.  This is great cold for breakfast w/ granola too.
