Spicy Parsnip Cakes
Parsnips the Unnoticed Vegetable , lets make some parsnip cakes!
What You need
1 cup parsnips (cleaned, peeled and grated)
1 tsp cumin
2 green chilies (seeded and finely chopped) your choice depending on your favorite
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup corn flour
1/2 cup onion (finely chopped)
1 tsp ginger (grated)
Salt and pepper
4Tbsp olive oil (not extra virgin) for frying
Nonstick Frying pan or flat griddle
Lets Make It!
In a mixing bowl combine parsnips, cumin, chilies, coriander, turmeric, baking powder, flour, corn flour, onion and ginger, salt, pepper and 1/3 cup of cold water ( dribble it in slowly you might not need all of it). Mix until a thick batter is formed. Add about I tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and heat on medium high heat. When the oil is hot, place a few large tablespoons of the mixture into the skillet to form a round pancake about 1/2 inch thick. You can cook 2 or 3 at a time and keep them warm in a low oven while you make the rest. Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then flip over and cook the other side until browned. Should make about 8 pancakes. Serve the pancakes with the honey, honey mustard, ranch dressing ,or salsa.

That recipe is certainly something a bit different! I love parsnips, but usually just have them roasted. With those ingredients, I would think that the pancakes would be pretty spicy, or hot!
I love parsnips. I'm surprised at how many people have never had them.
That recipe sounds good! I think me and my husband would like it …but would need to make them more mild for the kiddos.
Thank you for following me … I am following you back!

I have never tried parsnips mainly because I wasn't sure what to do with them and that does look wonderful.
Every time I buy parsnips the checkout person asks about them.
Great baked, too!
This is an unusual one, Katie. It will be an adventure to try…thanks for getting me going!!!
Hi Katie .. love parsnips in any form – this is just a brilliant extra idea .. must give them a try.

This sound delicious! Thanks for posting. 🙂
Can you believe I’ve never seen a parsnip before?!! They don’t grow here on our side of the pond.
