Parsnip, date & walnut spelt with Wootton White

Parsnips are brilliant roasted and they don’t have to be confined to a side dish for meat. Here they’re the star in this Middle Eastern spiced dish, with a few of their foodie friends (honey, dates and walnuts), topped with tangy Wootton White: a British-made, feta-style cheese which is also suitable for vegetarians.Harissa, a herb and chilli spice blend, can be quite hot and does vary in strength. If sensitive to heat, start with half, you can always add more later.
