RECIPE

 

  
  
38. Parsnips with Beans.
  Take two large parsnips, scrape them clean, and boil
them in water. When tender take them up, scrape all
the soft into a saucepan, add to them four teaspoonfuls of
cream, a piece of butter the size of a hen’s egg, chop them
well in a saucepan, and when they are quite thick, heap
them up in the middle of the dish, with a ragout of French
beans all round.
