This recipe is being posted for one of our members who's converting to a healthier eating program, it's from "The Victory Garden Cookbook" by Marian Morash. Before I gave up frying (too messy a clean up) my family loved these sweet croquettes served with a big salad and chunky applesauce. Read more I am going to try them on my George Foreman grill - less mess and not in oil, as a healthier prep option. See less
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pound parsnips shopping list
- 1 small onion shopping list
- 6 Tbsp. sweet butter shopping list
- 2 Tbsp. flour shopping list
- 1/2 cup milk' shopping list
- salt and freshly ground pepper shopping list
- 1 Tbsp. chopped chives shopping list
- 2 eggs shopping list
- 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs or panko shopping list
- (2 tbsp. oil) shopping list
How to make it
- Peel and roughly chop the parsnips.
- Cook them until tender and then whip them but DO NOT PUREE.
- Finely chop the onion and lightly brown that in 4 Tbsp of butter.
- Stir in the flour and cook for 2 - 3 minutes, do not brown.
- Whisk the milk into the onions off the heat and then once mixed in cook until thickened. (essentially this is veggie plus a roux)
- Stir in the parsnips and season with salt, pepper, and chives.
- Chill this mixture for a couple of hours minimum.
- Beat the eggs and set aside.
- Form the parsnip mix into patties and beware, this is a soft mixture, not a firm one to handle.
- Dip into the eggs and then into the breadcrumbs.
- Refrigerate again, this helps the handling in my opinion.
- When ready to serve saute the patties in 2 Tbsp of butter with 2 Tbsp of oil, adding more if necessary. Or... try the indoor grill they can't fall apart on like I'm going to do!!

Oh yes, these are exactly what I was looking for, borinda - sweet, slight crunch, wholesome (I had to omit most of the butter and all of the bread crumbs, but it didn't affect the flavor at all). These will be on the regular rotation. I did use part...more
