Tips:
- Choose the right turnips: Look for turnips that are small, firm, and have a smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid turnips that are large, soft, or have blemishes, as these may be old or have a bitter taste.
- Grate the turnips finely: This will help them cook evenly and quickly. You can use a food processor or a box grater to grate the turnips.
- Use a well-seasoned pan: A well-seasoned pan will help prevent the turnips from sticking. If you don't have a well-seasoned pan, you can coat it with a little oil before cooking.
- Cook the turnips over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning.
- Stir the turnips frequently: This will help prevent them from sticking and ensure that they cook evenly.
- Season the turnips to taste: Once the turnips are cooked through, season them with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.
