DEEP-FRIED PARSNIPS

Preparation Method :

• Peel the parsnips and cut into short sticks about 1 cm / ½ inch thick.
• Parboil in salted water to cover for 8 minutes, then drain and dry and leave to cool.
• Beat the egg with a little salt and freshly ground pepper.
• Dip the parsnip sticks into the seasoned flour and shake off surplus, then dip into the egg, roll in breadcrumbs and chill for 10 minutes to set the coating.
• Heat the oil to 180° / 350°F (when a cube of bread browns in 25 to 30 seconds) and fry the parsnip sticks until golden brown.
• Drain on kitchen paper towels and serve at once.
