Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 pound turnips, cut into 1-inch pieces
3/4 pound carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Put the vegetables in a skillet just large enough to hold them in a single layer. Add enough water so that it comes halfway up their sides along with the butter and sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat, then adjust the heat to maintain a simmer. Cover the vegetables with a round of parchment paper just large enough to fit the inside diameter of the pan, or with a lid set ajar. Simmer the vegetables until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the cover and raise the heat to high. Toss the vegetables frequently in the pan, as the liquid evaporates to a shiny smooth glaze. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.

1 pound carrots, unpeeled
3 tablespoons good olive oil
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Roast for 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the vegetables, tossing occasionally, until the parsnips and carrots are just tender. Sprinkle with dill and serve hot.

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!

2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt

1 pound turnips (about 4 medium), peeled and cut into 1-inch wedges
1 pound zucchini (about 2 medium), halved lengthwise and cut diagonally into 1-inch-thick pieces
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup water

With fingers loosen skin from breast at both ends and push half of seasoned butter under skin, spreading over breastbone to each side of breast. Massage skin from outside to spread butter evenly over breast. Put remaining seasoned butter in body cavity and with small metal or wooden skewers completely close body cavity and neck cavity. Tie drumsticks together with kitchen string and salt chicken lightly. Roast chicken in middle of oven 20 minutes.
