Instructions: Saute vegs in oil until onions are translucent and parsnips are soft.

Process until a smooth paste is formed. Add all remaining ingredients except peanut oil and blend until well mixed. Heat oil in a 3" deep skillet to 375. Fill the bowl of a tablespoon w/batter and use a second spoon to scoop it into the oil. It may help to oil the spoon, but I havent had any problems. Dont fry more than four at a time because they get done in less than a minute and if you leave them longer theyll burn and the fat content will skyrocket. Drain and serve.

For the tomato sauce I recomend your basic homemade tomato sauce w/o any bay leaf but some extra red wine. Figger it out for yourself. If you cant make your own tomato sauce youve already read too far;-)

(also from Friendly Foods, serves 4)
