Instructions
Parsnip Puree
1.
Peel parsnips, add to pot with milk and cover with water, cook until very tender, about 15 minutes.
2.
Blend in blender or food processor with the butter and a little cooking liquid to create a nice puree.
3.
Season the puree with curry and salt. Taste and adjust seasoning. Keep warm for serving.
4.
The puree will hold in the refrigerator for three days.
Salsa Verde
1.
Mix all the ingredients together and set aside.
2.
Salsa verde will keep for two weeks in the refrigerator.
The Vegetables
1.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and prepare a large bowl filled with ice water. Lower the broccoli into the boiling water and blanch until bright green, about 3 minutes. Remove with a strainer and transfer to the ice bath. Repeat with fiddleheads - these should only take 2 minutes or so. When the vegetables are cool, drain well and set aside.
2.
Heat the oil in a medium pan over medium heat and sauté the garlic until soft and fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the broccoli and fiddleheads and cook another 2 minutes and season with salt and pepper.
The Haddock
1.
Heat grill to high. Make sure you have cleaned the grates very well.
2.
Season the haddock filets with oil, salt and pepper. Grill the fish until just cooked through.
To Serve
1.
Divide puree among 6 plates.
2.
Next, arrange some of the vegetables around each plate, then add the fish.
3.
Spoon the salsa verde over the top. Serve immediately.
