Best 6 Mashed Turnips With Crispy Shallots Recipes

CRISPY SHALLOTS

Steps:

• In a large pot or deep fryer heat peanut oil until piece of shallot dropped in oil sizzles. Add shallots, stirring constantly, and fry until crisp and lightly browned. Remove with a slotted spoon or spider to drain on paper towels. Add salt to taste and toss. Let cool to room temperature and store in an airtight container for up to a week.

MASHED TURNIPS WITH CRISPY SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Place the turnips in a large pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and puree in a food processor. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a deep saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and saute until they turn golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove the shallots with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
• Set a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the cream and the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and bring to a simmer. Briskly stir in the turnips. Season to taste with salt, pepper and the nutmeg. Divide the puree among 8 serving plates. Garnish liberally with the shallots and lightly with parsley. Serve immediately.

MASHED TURNIPS AND SAGE

Steps:

• Add the turnips and potatoes to a large pot of cold salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until soft and tender, about 20 minutes.
• In a small saucepan, add the butter over medium-high heat. Once melted and foamy, add the shallots and sage and saute until the shallot is tender, the sage is fragrant and the butter begins to brown. Season with salt and pepper. Add the milk and bring to a simmer. (This will infuse the milk with the sage flavor.)
• Drain the turnips and potatoes in a colander in the sink. Add the turnips and potatoes back to the pot they were cooked in. Add the hot milk and roughly mash the vegetables. If you prefer a smoother texture, use an immersion blender and puree until smooth and silky. Taste for seasoning, add salt and pepper.

MASHED YELLOW TURNIPS WITH CRISPY SHALLOTS

Steps:

• In a saucepan, heat the oil with three tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat until it begins to bubble. Reduce the heat to low, add the shallots, and cook them until they are a rich golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Stir the shallots occasionally while they are cooking to make sure they brown evenly.
• Remove the shallots from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels. Once the shallots have dried and crisped, in about 15 minutes, they can be stored in a cool place, covered, for several days. Serve the shallots at room temperature.
• Peel the turnips to remove their waxy skins and cut them into generous one-inch chunks. Put them in a saucepan with water to cover and one teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil and simmer covered, until the turnips are easily pierced by a paring knife, about 35 minutes.
• In a separate saucepan, heat the milk and the remaining six tablespoons of butter over low heat until the butter has melted and the milk just begins to simmer.
• Drain the turnips and puree (in several batches, if necessary) in a food processor. With the motor running, add the melted butter and milk in a steady stream. The turnips should be very smooth.
• Return the turnip puree to the saucepan, season with one teaspoon salt and the pepper and reheat, stirring, over medium flame. Serve piping hot, sprinkle generously with crispy shallots.
