Parsnip and Mushroom Ragu
This parsnip and mushroom ragu is a hearty, flavorful dish that's perfect for a cold night. The parsnips add a sweetness to the dish, while the mushrooms provide a savory umami flavor. The creamy coconut milk and nutritional yeast add a richness and depth of flavor that make this dish truly special.
I first came up with this recipe on a cold winter night when I was looking for something warm and comforting to eat. I had some parsnips and mushrooms in my fridge, and I decided to experiment with them. I started by browning the parsnips and mushrooms in a skillet, and then I added some onion and garlic. After that, I deglazed the pan with some white wine, and then I added some vegetable broth, coconut milk, and nutritional yeast. I let the mixture simmer for 30 minutes, or until the parsnips were tender. Once the parsnips were tender, I stirred in some fresh parsley, salt, and pepper. I served the ragu over some cooked pasta, and it was absolutely delicious.
