where you can purchase a souvenir bunch.
Look out for family events and dining trains
throughout the year.
www.watercressline.co.uk
Serves 4 - 6
900g parsnips, peeled
& chopped
freshly ground black pepper,
small pinch smoked
paprika (optional)
150g plain flour
To serve:
3 egg yolks
4 tbsp rapeseed oil
9 sage leaves, finely chopped
18 sage leaves
1 tsp sea salt
200g Barkham Blue, cubed
1 Boil the parsnips in lightly
salted water for 20 minutes or until
soft. Drain well and leave them to
steam dry in the pan for a minute or
two, then puree until smooth.
Add the flour, egg yolks, chopped
sage and seasoning and bring
together into a firm dough, adding
more flour if necessary.
3 About 15 minutes before
you’re ready to serve, put a large
pan of salted water on to boil. Heat
the rapeseed oil in a small frying pan
and fry the sage leaves in batches for
a few seconds until crisp. Leave to
drain on kitchen paper and reserve
the oil.
2 To make the dough into
gnocchi, break off an orange-sized
lump and roll into a sausage about
2cm in diameter. Cut on the
diagonal into lozenge shapes and
space out on a piece of greaseproof
paper, repeating until all the dough
has been used.
Perfect Parsnips:
Pick up some parsnips from

4 The gnocchi will need to be
cooked in batches to avoid
overcrowding the pan, so put a bowl
in a low heat oven to keep them
warm. Each batch will take about 34 minutes to cook in the boiling
water and the gnocchi will float to
the surface when they’re ready.

Gilbert White
described Selborne as
a ‘rural, sheltered,

Find out why Hampshire is already tantalising so many taste
buds as we showcase the quality and diversity of our
delicious local produce, food events and award-winning
