The parsnip is a bit overshadowed by the carrot. It actually deserves a lot more attention. We definitely love their nutty, aromatic taste and their great natural sweetness. Together with sunflower seeds, we today process the parsnip into a creamy spread. Because there are also a multitude of options for vegans, what you can have on your bread.
The main parsnip season is winter and therefore already over, but you can still get local stocked ones. A few days ago we also received a batch of parsnips from Brandenburg with our vegetable box. And that’s why you can enjoy the recipe for a vegan parsnip spread here.

Song of the recipe:
Ibeyi are the twin sisters Lisa-Kaindé and Naomi Díaz. They sing in English, French, Spanish and Yoruba, a language primarily from Nigeria, which is also common in Cuba. And that closes the circle, because the twins’ father was a member of the Buena Vista Social Club.
