Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound turnips, peeled
1 pound ripe, flavorful pears, peeled, cored and halved
1/3 cup minced shallots
2 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons Gorgonzola
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Steam the turnips for 20 to 40 minutes, depending on age and size, until tender.
  • Steam the pears until they are soft, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, saute the shallots in the butter until translucent.
  • Either in a food processor, using the steel blade, or in a blender, puree the turnips, pears and shallots with the Gorgonzola, in batches, until all of it is pureed. Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper.
  • At this point the dish may be refrigerated. To serve, spoon puree, which is quite liquid at this point, into a large skillet. Cook at a simmer, to thicken the mixture and evaporate the liquid, for about 30 minutes.
