I still have a lot of dehydrated parsnip, so this one looked good. I added a little grated onion and garlic.

PARSNIP “RICE”
Parsnips were new to me last year. I had no clue what to do with them. I saw one recipe using them for “sushi rice”, but that was about it. Finally, since they are root vegetables, I decided to do what I do with beets and turnips….
I grated and mixed them with olive oil once, and then I grated them and mixed them with apple cider vinegar and a little garlic. The olive oil version is more like rice, but I like the vinegar version best.
I can do this recipe with fresh parsnips or soaked dehydrated parsnips.
