What each ingredient does
- Parsnips
- Provide the main body and sweet flavour, becoming tender and caramelised when fried.
- Dripping
- Conducts heat for frying and adds rich flavour and helps the strips brown.
The step that matters
Fry the parsnip strips until golden brown and tender. Thin strips cook quickly and can burn before the centre softens if the heat is too high. Medium heat lets the sugars brown gradually while the starch inside turns tender.
