Directions
Parsnip and Bacon Cake Served With a Honey-mustard Sauce, A variation on a potato cake, served with a side salad, this is a tasty light brunch, lunch or supper dish I make it without the spices (personal preference) but I have added garlic, and one egg to help bind the mixture I went back to the original recipe to find the exact quantities of the hot ingredients They have been included here as optional If you want to make the dish vegetarian, simply omit the bacon Adapted from Lulu Grimes’ cook ‘Food: buy it fresh; Cook: cook it simply; Eat: eat it now’, in which I have found many recipes that I cook again and again I have already posted several others , Superb!, I thought this was really delicious and loved the sweetness of the parsnips against the bacon DH loved the sauce but I don’t have a sweet tooth when it comes to savoury things so I declined it – it did taste good but just not to my taste Thanks Bluemoon def a keeper for us Made for New Zaar tag Linds
