Categories     Side Dishes - Vegetables

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 small to medium turnips (peeled)
Salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic (minced)
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (or as needed)
Chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Place peeled turnips in a pot of salted water to cover. Bring to a boil. Cook 20 to 30 minutes or until turnips can be pierced easily with a paring knife. Drain. Let cool slightly.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Place the turnips on a clean kitchen towel or double layer of paper towels. Gently press each one down until it's approximately 1/2-inch high. Let them drain for 15 minutes then carefully flip them over onto a dry section of the towel or onto fresh paper towels so the other side drains and dries a bit.
  • Combine garlic, olive oil and salt and black pepper, to taste in a small bowl.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick aluminum foil. Place the flattened turnips on the lined baking sheet. Brush each turnip with a little of the olive oil and garlic combination. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over each turnip, gently pressing it down.
  • Carefully and quickly flip each turnip over. Repeat with the remaining olive oil and garlic combination and cheese.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Flip each turnip and bake an additional 15 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh chives and serve.

Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large turnips, peeled and cubed
1 large russet potato, peeled and cubed
3 tablespoons butter
2 shallots, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
1 cup milk
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

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.
