Steps:
- Clean the leeks and discard the dark green portions.
- Cut the leeks lengthwise then into one-inch pieces.
- Melt the butter in a medium skillet, med. heat.
- Add the garlic and fry 'til fragrant.
- Add leeks and fry until the leeks are tender, about 6-minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel and chunk the parsnips into one-inch pieces.
- Place in a steaming basket and steam 'til they are as tender as you prefer. I like them fork-tender. Drain parsnips and add to the skillet with the leeks. Add salt and pepper.
- Gently sautee together for 5-minutes.
- At this point you can serve it, OR continue on and cream it:.
- In a jar with a screw top, add the half-n-half and arrowroot. Shake 'til blended.
- Turn heat to low under the leeks and parsnips. Pour in the arrowroot mixture, stirring gently as you pour.
- If too thick, gradually add the water (or use milk if preferred). Let simmer for a couple of minutes. Taste to adjust seasoning, probably an additional 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Serve warm.

CREAMED SPINACH WITH PARSNIPS
Number Of Ingredients 10
Steps:
- In a large, deep skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the oil. Add the parsnips and cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the stock and thyme and bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper, cover and simmer over low heat until the parsnips are tender, about 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, fill a large, deep pot with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil. Add the spinach in large handfuls and blanch, stirring, just until wilted, about 10 seconds. Drain and cool under running water. Squeeze the spinach dry and coarsely chop it. Stir the spinach into the parsnips.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and cook over moderately high heat until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking, for 1 minute. Whisk in the half-and-half and nutmeg, season with salt and pepper and bring the sauce to a boil, whisking until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir the sauce into the spinach and parsnips and bring to a simmer. Transfer to a bowl and serve.
- Make Ahead: The creamed vegetables can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and rewarmed over low heat. Stir in a little stock if the cream sauce is too thick.
