Recipe: Glazed Turnips
Baby turnips in the spring are the tiny, tender cousins of their fall counterparts. They cook up fast and have a more delicate flavour than the turnips of the fall. As a wonderful bonus their greens can also be cooked and the two served together make a delicious combination.
Glazed Turnips:
Ingredients:
1 cup turnips chopped
1/3 cup water or enough to cover turnips halfway
2 tsp butter
1/4 tsp sugar
salt to taste
Steps:
1. chop turnips and set aside greens (stems trimmed and discarded)
2. place turnips, water, 1 tsp of butter, salt and sugar in pan and bring to a boil on high heat
3. reduce to medium-high heat and cook for about 10 minutes or until turnips are tender and liquid nearly gone (there should be a very light syrup remaining to coat the turnips)
4. wilt greens with 1 tsp of butter on medium heat for 2-3 minutes
5. mix greens and turnips together and serve
