ROASTED POTATOES & PARSNIPS with CHESTNUTS & SAGE

Fresh and Fast Vegan
by Amanda Grant
There are so many ingredients that make life easier for the modern cook. Cooked and peeled chestnuts, conveniently vacuum-packed to keep them fresh until you want to use them, are an example; they are well worth keeping in the cupboard. Serve these root vegetables in warm bowls with fresh green vegetables, and topped with a large spoonful of lingonberry relish in the center. Substitute a relish made from cranberries if you wish—lingonberries are their Swedish sisters. If you are using old parsnips, remove the woody cores.
