Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 pounds parsnips, peeled and sliced into circles
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Herb Butter:
- 1/2 pound unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup mixed chopped fresh herbs, like chervil, parsley and chives
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Put the olive oil and butter into a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the vegetables and toss to coat them well with the fat; season with salt and pepper. Add 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the Herb Butter by combining the soft butter and herbs together; season with some salt and pepper.
To serve, spread some Herb Butter in the bottom of a bowl. Add the hot vegetables and dot with more Herb Butter. Moisten with some of the cooking liquid and serve.

I actually watched this episode and the typed recipe is kind of misleading. You are NOT supposed to use the whole 1/2 pound butter compound. Just a dollup while and the end of the simmer time right in the pan. You can save the rest of the butter compound for future uses.

It was easy and my first time to cook parsnips. It was tasty but way too much butter. I was the only one who liked it.
