- 1/2 pound pearl onions (about 1 cup)
- 1 medium turnip
- 1 medium Yukon Gold or other yellow-fleshed potato
- 2 medium carrots
- 2 medium parsnips
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup veal stock (4 fluid ounces)
- Garnish: chopped fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves and blanched grated lemon zest
- Have ready a bowl of ice and cold water.
- Cook onions in boiling water 3 minutes and drain in a colander.
- Transfer onions to ice water to stop cooking.
- When onions are cool enough to handle, peel and reserve.
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- Peel remaining vegetables and cut enough into 1/2-inch cubes to measure 3/4 cup each.
- In a shallow roasting pan toss vegetables (except onions) with oil and roast in middle of oven until tender and golden, about 20 minutes.
- In a large skillet heat butter over moderate heat until foam subsides and cook onions, stirring, until tender and pale golden.
- Add roasted vegetables, stock, and salt and pepper to taste and simmer until stock is slightly thickened and coats vegetables, about 2 minutes.
- Serve ragout garnished with parsley and zest.
