Carrot and parsnip rösti
BRUNCH FOR TWO
Carrot AND PARSNIP RöSTI You’ll find everything you need for this super easy brunch recipe at the supermarket or your local farmer’s market in March. It’s a great way to use parsnips and early spring onions when they come into season this spring, and an easy hangover cure! If you’re not a fan of boiled eggs, scrambled, poached or fried work just as well in this dish. PREP TIME - 5 minutes COOKING TIME - 15 minutes INGREDIENTS Serves two 200g parsnip, grated - 25p 200g carrot, grated - 12p 70g butter - 42p 2 free-range egg yolks - 50p 2 whole, free-range eggs - 50p 1 tsp smoked paprika - 10p A large handful of rocket, - 38p 2 Spring onions, sliced - 9p Salt and pepper to taste 1. Put a large, deep pan of water on the hob over a high heat. Once boiled, turn down to a simmer. 2. In a frying pan, melt 50g of the butter over a low heat and gently fry the carrot for 2 minutes. Add the parsnip and cook for another 5 minutes until soft. 3. Remove from the pan into a bowl and stir in the egg yolk, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. With the rest of the butter, spoon the mix back into the pan in four goes. Flatten each spoonful to a pancake shape with the spoon. 4. Fry for a few minutes on each side and remove when both sides are lightly browned. 5. Meanwhile, turn your water up so it starts boiling and lower your eggs in one by one. 6. Cook the eggs for 6 minutes for a soft boiled egg with runny yolk, 9 minutes for a medium yolk and 12 minutes for a hard boiled egg. 7. As the eggs and rösti cook, toss together your rocket and spring onions and serve on a plate. 8. Peel the eggs when cooked, using a towel to hold them if they’re hot and then serve alongside the rösti. UNDER £3 METHOD
