Join the discussionThe ingredient list has parsnips twice. Is that an error?
Oh, yes. I’ll get it corrected right now.
I’m new to this Paleo menu.what’s Ghee 1&2?
Hi Alejandra, ghee is a form of clarified butter that you can purchase or make (see a great recipe here- http://nomnompaleo.com/post/39…. We use the numbers to clarify which amount of the ingredient you should use when in the recipe. Hope that helps!
All this food really fits into an 8X8 casserole?
Hi GloriaMarie, for 8 servings you will actually want to use two 8×8 pans or a 9×13. Sorry for the confusion- I will update the post.
Hi!
Where is the chicken stock to be used, I don’t see it in the directions.
Thanks!
Kelly – the stock is to be added to the blender
“Place parsnips, half of mushroom, onion and shallot mixture and stock into blender, blend until smooth.”
This looks delicious. I have it in the oven now. I didn’t see references to using ghee twice in the directions-just one reference when starting the mushrooms and onions. I also didn’t see directions for adding the garlic, salt and pepper?
Hi Paula, I’m sorry- the garlic, salt and pepper goes in the mushrooms and onions. I’ve updated the post for you. And ghee should only be used once so I’ve updated that as well.
This looks so good, and I love that it’s not cream of in a can based. 🙂 Question, though – if I can’t find parsnips, is there a good sub for it? I wondered about carrots but thought they might be too sweet? Potatoes, maybe, or turnips? Celery root? Just trying to think of other root vegetables but don’t really know enough about taste to determine which would be a better fit for this dish. Thanks! 🙂
p.s. What is that yummy stuff on top that looks a lot like French fried onions? I don’t see anything in directions for that, so maybe it’s just stuff in the recipe floating to the top?
Hi, Christie. I would say turnips or celery root would be your best bet for a parsnip substitute. If you have a hard time finding those as well you could give the carrots or potatoes a try. Also, the yummy stuff you see on top are some of the slices of caramelized onion. Happy cooking!
I may be a little dense when it comes to freezer cooking: When I cook this after it’s been frozen do I need to thaw it in the fridge first or do I put it the oven frozen for the 40 minutes?
Hi Danielle! Great question. For any recipe that isn’t an InstantPot recipe, we follow food safety guidelines and say to thaw in the refrigerator first.
