A perfect accompaniment to roast meats, especially our pork spare ribs!

600 g (1 lb 5oz) parsnips, peeled and quartered lengthways

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 apples, cored and cut into eight

1 teaspoon grated nutmeg

rosemary sprig, to garnish

Heat the oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas Mark 5. Cook the parsnips in a saucepan of lightly salted boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain them and then shake them in the saucepan over a moderate heat to dry them. Heat the oil in a shallow roasting tin, add the parsnips, baste well and bake for 35 minutes, or until nearly tender. Add the apples, baste and sprinkle with nutmeg. Cook them in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, until the parsnips are tender and golden brown.
