2 things i randomly picked up at the HFS trying to expand my horizons.

anybody know of any good recipes (simple) i can use them in?

(not necessarily together)

btw. i DO have alissa's book and am going to check it tonight for any ideas.

p.s. all i have is a FP and a regular ice crushing blender.

parsnips are great for cutting into sticks and use to dip (like carrot sticks). Wheat berries could be grown into wheat grass. That's all a know.

I have used chooped (finely in food processor) parsnips as "rice" in dishes. I like it better than the chopped cauliflower. It may be good in a sushi roll.

You can also use the parsnips in the Better than Beef recipe from Alissa's book if you have it.

I agree about making parsnips into 'rice': as KellyL says, just process them until they're in very tiny pieces, just like grains of rice in fact.

I find the mixture is improved by adding some form of fat -- a tiny handful of pine nuts or a spoonful or two of coconut butter -- process again after you've added these. Lovely with a curry recipe -- last time I ate it was alongside Allissa's Spinach Curry Dip -- yum.
