This recipe is from Enlightened Gourmet. She says her husband likes this dish even with his idea of vegetables being a baked potato.

For those of us who don't like parsnips, she urges us to keep them in this recipe, they're the key to the texture.

2 small carrots, peeled and julienned

2 leeks, white part only, rinsed and julienned

2 small purple top turnips, peeled and juienned

2 parsnips, peeled and julienned

1/2 c. canned beef consomme or homemade beef stock

freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 tsp minced fresh parsley

Optional: garlic and tidbits of other vegetables

Coat a 10" skillet with cooking spray. Combine the carrots, leeks, turnips and parsnips with the consommem in the skillet. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir often and reduce heat to a medium after 3 minutes.

When vegetables are tender, about 5-6 minutes, transfer them to a serving platter. If necessary, uncover the pan, raise heat to high, and boil any remaining broth until only a tablespoonful remains. Pour it over the vegetables. Season with pepper and garnish with parsley
