Fricassee of Parsnips

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Boil sliced parsnips in milk without salt. When tender add salt and thicken slightly with flour stirred smooth with milk. Serve on toast.

  2. Green peas should be neither too old nor too young. When they are small and soft they have no character, but if too old they are hard and flavorless. To be at their best they should be cooked the day they are gathered.
