Parsnip Patties
From the cookbook Laurel's Kitchen. Makes 12 patties. This is a great recipe, especially with the walnuts.
4 cups parsnips, peeled and cut into chunks
1 onion, minced
1 Tb oil
1 tsp dried tarragon
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
2 cups whole grain bread crumbs
Steam parsnips until tender - 10 to 15 minutes. While parsnips are cooking, saute onion in oil. Add tarragon.
Mash parsnips with potato masher (a few lumps are OK). Stir onion into mashed parsnips with egg, salt and walnuts. Preheat oven to 350°F. Form parsnip mixture into patties, using 1/3 cup for each. Spread half the bread crumbs on a greased baking sheet and place patties on crumbs. Press remaining crumbs on top. Bake for 20 minutes.
