Parsnip panna cotta with carrot gelee.
Notes: You know the old (foodie) saying: every fine dining meal begins with a white panna cotta. (I've had cauliflower panna cotta, cocoa butter panna cotta (yes, as a savory course), uni panna cotta, malted sunchoke panna cotta, white pepper panna cotta, cucumber panna cotta, Maytag blue cheese panna cotta, sweet corn panna cotta..., etc.). This, I add parsnip panna cotta.
What I enjoyed about this pairing, is the earthy, natural sweetness of both root vegetables. The panna cotta was very smooth and silky, the gelee was supple and not too firm. The flavors were very clean and simple, not at all muddy.
