Mashed parsnip with creamy mushroom sauce, leek and chicken

Published on 25 February 2021 at 20:28

Ingredients:

- 1 big onion

- 2 cloves of garlic

- 400 g chestnut mushrooms

- 2 chicken breasts

- 800 g parsnip

- 2 stems leek

- 250 ml cooking dairy (kookzuivel)

- 250 ml light cooking cream

(if you like a lot of sauce like I do😊)

- Mustard (gewoon of grove mosterd)

- Maizena binder

- Walnuts to garnish

- P & S, chicken herbs and nutmeg

- ½ cube vegetable stock (half groentenbouillonblokje)

Additional: turmeric (kurkuma)

Instructions:

  1. Cut the parsnip into cubes of about 4-5 cm and boil them into hot water until they’re soft. This will take approximately 10mins.
  2. Cut the chicken breasts into pieces. Season with pepper, salt and chicken herbs. Fry the chicken pieces with olive oil or butter.
  3. Meanwhile shred the onion, cut the leek into tiny rings and wash both.
  4. Get the chicken pieces out of the pan and leave aside. Bake the onion and leek pieces until they’re colored. I added turmeric to this as well. Simply cause it’s a very healthy herb but doesn’t really have a pronounced taste. It will make your sauce look very yellow tho .. 😊
  5. Cut the mushrooms into 4 pieces. Get the onion and leek out of the pan and put aside with the chicken. Fry the mushrooms.
  6. Check the cooked parsnip. If they are ready, drain them and mash with a mixer or potato masher. Add a small half glass of hot water with vegetable stock to the mashed parsnip, to add flavor and  more 'mashed’ texture.
    Season with pepper, salt and nutmeg.
  7. When the mushrooms are almost ready, add the chicken, leek and onion. Press the garlic and add to this mixture. Now add mustard to your own taste. I think I’ve added 2/3 tablespoons as I really like the taste of mustard in the sauce.
  8. Thick the sauce a bit with Maizena if needed.
  9. Roughly crumble the walnuts to garnish the dish.
