Looking for an alternative accompaniment to your roast game or poultry over the festive period? Why not try this recipe? Some of this can be prepared in advance and refrigerated or frozen. This accompaniment resembles a cross between bread and apple sauce. This kills two birds with one stone in our case. I love apple sauce but my Official Taster is a bread sauce man.
Ingredients:Serves 8

2lb (1kg) parsnips

2oz (50g) chopped walnuts
