Ingredients

For the roasted parsnips:

For the peanuts and pecans:

For the yogurt:

Method

  1. For the Brazil nut spread:

    1. Peel, trim and quarter lengthwise the parsnips, cut into eighths if large.
    2. Combine the parsnips and  butter with the ground coriander, a pinch of salt and water in a large skillet. Cover and cook until the parsnips are tender. Uncover and continue to cook, tossing parsnips occasionally, until liquid is evaporated and parsnips are deep golden brown around edges

  1. For the peanuts and pecans:

    1. Meanwhile, add the pecans and peanuts roughly crushed to a pan along with a tablespoon of vegetable oil and cook medium heat. When the nuts start to golden, add ground coriander, ground cumin and crushed red pepper flakes. Toss it and cook it for a couple minutes.
    2. Remove from heat and stir in sugar and  a pinch of salt.

  1. For the yogurt:

    1. Stir Greek yogurt, finely grated garlic, zest and juice of a large lemon and extra-virgin olive oil in a small bowl to combine; season with salt.
    2. Spread yogurt sauce on a platter. Arrange half of the parsnips on top and sprinkle with half of the spiced nuts. Scatter some coarsely chopped parsley over.

Tips

Cut the parsnips evenly so they cook at the same speed and caramelize nicely around the edges.
