PARSNIPS WITH HORSERADISH AND CHIVES
Serves 8 to 10 as a side dish.
Note: from "Molto Batali," by Mario Batali.
• 3 lb. parsnips, peeled and cut into 21/2 -in.-long batonettes
• 1/4 c. plus 4 tsp. extra virgin olive oil, divided
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 c. prosecco or champagne
• 6 tbsp. unsalted butter
• 1/4 c. plus 1 c. prepared horseradish
• 1/4 c. finely chopped fresh Italian parsley
• 1/4 c. chopped fresh chives
• 2 tbsp. poppy seeds
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a large roasting pan, toss the parsnips with 4 teaspoons olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Add the prosecco and stir. Place the pan in the oven and roast, stirring once or twice, until the parsnips are tender and the prosecco has been absorbed, 25 to 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the butter and remaining 1/4 cup oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. When the butter has melted, remove from the heat and stir in 1/4 cup horseradish. Add the parsley, chives and poppy seeds, and season with salt and pepper.
Pour the horseradish-herb butter over the warm roasted parsnips, and toss to coat. Serve in a warmed shallow bowl with remaining horseradish on the side.

It’s too soon to tell how much the immigration crackdown is to blame.
