Poached Egg & Parsnip Purée

Step 1

Peel & thinly slice the onion.

Peel & chop the parsnips.

Step 3

Heat a drizzle of oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion & parsnips. Season with salt & pepper. Cook, stirring for 3 min.

Step 4

Add 0.25 cup of water (per serving). Reduce the heat, cover & cook for 15 min, or until the parsnips are fork-tender.

Step 5

Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add 1 tbsp of vinegar (optional). Stir the vinegar into the boiling water.

Once the parsnips are cooked, remove the pan from the heat.
