CARAMELIZED TURNIPS , CARROTS AND PARSNIPS

Turnips that are sufficiently young and tender need only be rinsed and dried before cooking; older purple-top turnips will need to be peeled. Make sure the veggies are about the same size. If you enjoy Garlic a couple of clove added to this is wonderful!

Yield 4 serving(s)

4 small turnips, quartered
2 carrots, cut into 2 inches pieces
2 parsnips, cut into 2 inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt
fresh ground black pepper

Spread them out in an even layer on a baking sheet and roast them for about 10 minutes, then toss them once (if tossed more frequently, they tend to break apart as they become tender).
  • Roast for 5 minutes more and check for doneness - depending on the water content of the veggies, they can take from 15 to 30 minutes. The turnips are done when they are fork tender and nicely caramelized.

TURNIPS WITH BREAD CRUMBS AND PARSLEY



Turnips with Bread Crumbs and Parsley image

Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 small turnips (about 3/4 pound), peeled
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons fresh bread crumbs
2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley leaves
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan of salted boiling water cook turnips 15 minutes and drain. When turnips are cool enough to handle, cut each into 8 wedges.
  • In a large skillet cook turnips in butter over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until almost tender and golden on the edges, about 10 minutes. Stir in bread crumbs, parsley, zest, and salt and pepper to taste and cook, stirring occasionally, until turnips are tender, about 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right turnips: Look for small, young turnips with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid turnips that are large, woody, or have cracks or blemishes.
  • Peel the turnips thinly: Use a sharp knife to peel the turnips thinly, removing just the outer layer of skin. This will help the turnips cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Slice the turnips evenly: Cut the turnips into even-sized pieces so that they cook evenly. If the pieces are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may not caramelize properly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet: A heavy-bottomed skillet will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the turnips from burning.
  • Cook the turnips over medium heat: Caramelizing the turnips takes time, so be patient and cook them over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the turnips will burn before they have a chance to caramelize.
  • Stir the turnips frequently: Stir the turnips frequently to prevent them from sticking to the pan and to ensure that they caramelize evenly.
  • Add the capers, lemon, and parsley at the end: The capers, lemon, and parsley will add a bright, fresh flavor to the turnips. Add them at the end of the cooking process so that they don't overcook.

Conclusion:

Caramelized turnips with capers, lemon, and parsley is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. The turnips are caramelized until they are tender and slightly sweet, and the capers, lemon, and parsley add a bright, fresh flavor. This dish is sure to impress your guests and is a great way to enjoy turnips.
