Parsnip Fritters

• 2 pounds parsnips, scraped and cut into 1 1/2
• 1/3 cup minced purple onion
• 1 large egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted
• 1 teaspoon ground mustard
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• Peanut oil
• Salt

1. Cook parsnips in boiling water to cover in a large saucepan 20 to 25 minutes or until very tender. Drain well.
2. Process parsnips and next 8 ingredients in a food processor until pureed. Transfer mixture to a bowl; stir in flour.
3. Pour oil to depth of 2" into a large heavy skillet; heat to 375u0b0 over medium-high heat. Using 2 teaspoons, shape about 1 1/2 tablespoons parsnip mixture into a fritter by rounding mixture between edges of spoons. Drop fritters into hot oil, 6 at a time, and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until golden, turning once. Drain on paper towels.
4. Transfer fritters to a baking sheet; sprinkle lightly with salt, and keep warm in a 300u0b0 oven. Repeat with remaining mixture. Serve hot.
