Time 45m

Yield Eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds turnips, peeled and coarsely diced
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon minced parsley

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.

I was short on time, so I used pre-cooked turnips. The recipe still turned out great.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted the walnuts from the recipe. The mashed turnips were still delicious.

I didn't have any shallots, so I used onions instead. They worked just as well.

The turnips were a bit too mushy for my liking. I think I would cook them for a shorter amount of time next time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more seasoning next time.
