Truffled parsnip & Parmesan bruschetta

Truffled parsnip & Parmesan bruschetta

Cooking time

Prep: 10 mins Cook: 25 mins
  • 1 mini ciabatta or panini roll, cut into 12 x ½cm slices
  • 1 garlic clove, halved
  • 50g butter
  • 3 large parsnips, halved and quartered, cored and cut into 1cm cubes
  • 1 tsp truffle oil, plus more to serve if you like
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, plus more to serve
  • handful rocket leaves
  • 50g parmesan (or vegetarian alternative) shavings
  1. Heat a griddle pan and toast the bread for about 2 mins on each side until golden and marked. Rub the cut side of the garlic clove over each piece.
  2. Heat the butter in a large frying pan. Add the parsnips, season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, then cook over a medium heat, shaking regularly until golden and softened, about 20 mins. Add a splash of water if you need to. Remove from the heat and whizz to a purée in a food processor with both of the oils. Season to taste. Set aside at room temperature if serving on the day. Can be chilled up to 2 days ahead.
  3. To serve, top the toasts with the truffled parsnip mix (it should be room temperature), scatter with rocket leaves and Parmesan shavings, then drizzle with a little more olive oil or truffle oil.
