  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      pounds        parsnips, peeled and sliced -- about 1/3-inch 
thick
   1      teaspoon      salt
   2      to 3 tablesp  unsalted butter -- cut into bits
                        Salt and freshly ground white pepper -- to 
taste


In a saucepan, combine the parsnips and salt and enough 
water to just coverthem. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20
 to 30 minutes or until tender and two thirds of the water has 
evaporated. Using a food mill fitted with the fine blade or a 
food processor, puree the mixture and season with salt and 
freshly ground white pepper to taste. Set the pan over 
another containing simmering water, cover and let cook for 
20 to 30 minutes more. (The parsnip puree improves in flavor 
with this additional cooking.)

Yield: 4 to 6 servings
