Ingredients
  

  • 1 large parsnip peeled and sliced into thin rounds
  • 1 cup plain unsweetened coconut milk
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • Small pinch of ground white pepper
  • Dash of freshly grated nutmeg or ground nutmeg
  • 1 pound baby spinach
  • 1½ tsp olive oil
  • 1½ tsp finely diced shallot or white onion
  • ½ tsp grated lemon zest

Instructions
 

  • In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, cook the parsnip in the coconut milk with the salt, pepper, and nutmeg until tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Transfer the contents of the pan to a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Rinse and pat dry the spinach, then place in a food processor and buzz until the spinach is finely chopped. (Think spinach dip texture here.)
  • Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Once warm, add the shallot and cook until fragrant and translucent, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the chopped spinach and cook, tossing frequently, until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add the parsnip mixture and lemon zest, stirring to incorporate fully. Cook for another few moments to let the flavors meld, then remove from the heat and serve.
