Ingredients
  • 1 pound parsnips peeled and chopped
  • 1 pear peeled and chopped
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon very finely chopped fresh rosemary
Instructions

  2. Pressure cook on HIGH for 4 minutes.
  3. Release the pressure with the QUICK-RELEASE method and carefully remove the lid. Drain the vegetables and return them to the warm pressure cooker, removing the rosemary sprig.

Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper and serve with a little fresh rosemary.
