Ingredients
  

For the Patties

  • 1 lb parsnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1/2 onion onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp wheat flour, heaping
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup olive oil (for frying)

For Serving

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 Tbsp dill, chopped

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Start by boiling the parsnips in a pot of salted water until they are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.
  • In a skillet, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, mash the cooked parsnips. Stir in the cooked onion and garlic, fresh dill, flour, milk, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined.
  • Form the mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches wide.
  • In a separate bowl, place the Italian breadcrumbs. Dredge each patty in the breadcrumbs to coat.

Cooking

  • Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Serving

  • Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream mixed with minced garlic and dill on top.
