Sweet Potato-Parsnip Puree
"A nice change from mashed potatoes. For variety, use yams instead of sweet potatoes; or rutabagas instead of parsnips. If you don't have tahini, use sesame oil"

This is a great side dish! I scaled the recipe down (1 sweet potato and 1 parsnip) and just mashed and whipped them together by hand instead of using a food processor. I really like the cumin with the sweet potatoes. Thanks for sharing the recipe! -
This was a great side! I just mixed mine with a hand mixer so there would be a little bit of lumps left. The amount of spice was great and the parsnips were a nice touch; may add some carrots too next time for a little sweetness. Made for 2011 Football Pool Win. -
I loved this simple & tasty side, the spicy nutty aftertaste is great, certainly something different. Thanks for posting! -
Definetly 5 stars! This is a simple and delicious recipe that I will enjoy many times. I used rutabaga, which I prefer to parsnip. I ate about 3 servings of this in one go :-) Thanks! -
I like this. Actually, I like it a lot. I did cut back on the cumin, as I'm thinking it doesn't like me too much. I'm going to try this again tomorrow, leaving it out. Other than that though, I loved the combination of the parsips and sweet potatoes. Hey....wonder what it would be like with cinnamon? Thanks Mikekey....I never would have thought of combining the two vegetables.
