Method

Make the sauce first. Place the tomatoes in a pan with the rest of the ingredients. Cook over a low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, then push the ingredients through a sieve and discard the vegetable debris. Trim, scrub and chop the parsnips, and boil or steam until tender. Drain and place them in a gratin dish. Pour the hot tomato sauce over them and serve.
