Parsnip and parmesan is such a classic flavour combination, one that doesn’t let down in this winter risotto. The parsnips make it sweet, the parmesan makes it savoury and the cooking process makes it creamy and comforting. Yum!
TThe parsnips here are roasted so they develop a rich sweet caramelised flavour. You could boil them at a pinch, but if you do this, you must leave out the milk in the blending process since they will contain a lot of liquid already.
