The earthy sweetness of parsnips goes well with this sage-tinged cream sauce.

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

  • 1 ½ pounds parsnips, peeled and cut into ½-by-2-inch pieces

  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth

  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage

  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

  • Salt and pepper

Directions

  1. In a large straight-sided skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add parsnips and saute until lightly browned, 4 minutes. Add broth and sage and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until tender, 8 minutes. Uncover, increase heat to high, and cook until liquid is reduced by half. Stir in cream and season with salt and pepper.
