 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1       tb           Butter
  1       lb           Parsnips, thinly sliced
  1       lb           Apples, peeled/cored/sliced
  1                    Med. onion, chopped
  2       ts           Curry powder
  1       t            Ground cumin
  1       t            Ground coriander
    1/2   ts           Cardamom
  1                    Large clove garlic, crushed
  1 1/4   l            Beef or chicken stock
150       ml           Cream
                       Salt and pepper
                       Chopped chives or parsley

 Heat the butter, and when foaming, add the parsnips,
 apples, and onions. Soften them but do not let them
 color.  Add the curry powder, the spices and garlic;
 cook for about 2 minutes, stirring well.  Pour in the
 stock slowly, stirring until well mixed.  Cover and
 simmer gently for about half an hour, or until the
 parsnips are quite soft.  Taste for seasoning.  Sive
 or liquidize, and if it seems too thick, dilute with a
 little stock or water.  Add the cream and reheat, but
 do not let it boil.  Serve garnished with chopped
 chives or parsley.
