Notes & Wine Advice
Serving Suggestions
Serve the parsnips warm while their edges are still lightly crisp and the tahini dressing is creamy. They make an easy Side Dish for roasted or grilled foods and can be combined with other recipes from the Vegetables collection. They also work well as part of a larger Mediterranean-style meal.Variations
For a thinner tahini dressing, add a little extra water until it reaches the desired consistency. Extra lemon juice gives the dressing a brighter flavour, while additional garlic makes it more savoury. The same dressing can also be used with other Vegetables or as inspiration for recipes from the Dressing collection.Storage and Reheating
Store leftover parsnips in a covered container in the refrigerator. Because they have already been coated with tahini dressing, they will soften during storage. Reheat them briefly in the Airfryer or serve them at room temperature. For the best texture, serve them freshly prepared.Wine Advice
A Sauvignon Blanc works well with the earthy sweetness of parsnips and the fresh lemon in the tahini dressing. Its acidity provides a refreshing contrast to the creamy sesame flavour. Explore suitable wines at René’s Wijnbeleving.Nutrition values
