Parsnipsteaks

Wash the parsnips thoroughly, and pat dry. Square off the parsnips by cuttinga small slice on two opposite sides of the wider end so that they are stable onthe baking sheet. In a small rondeau, toast the spices over medium low heat for approximately 10 minutes. Do not allow the spices to burn and then remove from heat and cool. Crush the spices using the bottom of a heavy pan and thentoss the parsnips in a bowl with the oil and crushed spices. Season with salt and pepper. Next lay a silpat (or a piece of parchment paper) on a baking sheet. Place the parsnips on the baking sheet, in opposite directions, about 4 inches apart. Cover with another silpat, or piece of parchment, and another baking sheet. Weigh down the sheet tray witha brick or a heavy cast iron pan and place in the oven. Cook for approximately 11⁄2 hours at 375F, until the parsnips are soft and uniformly flattened. Refrigerate until ready to use. When ready sear the chilled steaks in melted butter to give them a nice golden crust.
