Patricia's Honey Mustard Parsnips

These are better than any parsnips I've ever cooked. Patricia certainly knows her veg!

Shopping list for 6-8 people:
6-8 parsnips, peeled and quartered lengthways - removing the ‘woody’ centres; 2 tablespoons of olive oil; 2 tablespoons of whole grain mustard; 2 tablespoons of clear honey.

Method:
Boil the parsnips in lightly salted water for 5 minutes, then drain. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, mustard, honey and some salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add the parsnips into the bowl and mix thoroughly until well coated, then place into a roasting tray and cook in a pre-heated moderate oven (gas mark 6; 200C) for around 45 minutes, until deliciously tender.
