METHOD:

For Parsnips:  Peel and quarter parsnips.  Remove center core from the fat ends and hold in lemon water.  In a heavy bottomed pot, combine parsnips, onion, garlic and enough water just to cover.  Bring to a boil and simmer until parsnips are tender.  Strain and immediately puree.  Add butter, chicken stock, coriander, cayenne and salt to taste.  Keep warm.

For Caramelized Onions:  Melt butter with oil and add onion.  Cook over medium-high heat until onions begin to sizzle.  Add rest of ingredients except thyme, and reduce heat to medium low.  Cook slowly until onions begin to brown; continue cooking and stir frequently.  Add thyme at the end and cook for 1 additional minute.  Stir caramelized onions into parsnip puree.  Place some additional caramelized onions on top as a garnish.
