Most Delicious Dinner Recipe...According To My Neighbor

So our next dinner is right around the corner and I am still as excited to see you all as I was the first dinner that we hosted.

My neighbor sent me an email today titled "Most Delicious Dinner Recipe", she invited me over the night she made it but I had a previous engagement. It looked delicious and judging from her email it was. So of course I had to share it with you all.

AND DRIED FRUIT


2 T virgin olive oil
6 medium shallots
4 medium parsnips - peeled and cut into chunks

2 T whole grain mustard

1/2 cup dried apricots ,roughly chopped ( I used 1 cup)
