Roasted Turnips And Apples Food

ROASTED TURNIPS AND APPLES WITH HONEY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Quarter and slice the peeled turnips into ¼-inch slices. Place in a medium mixing bowl. Slice the scallions into 1" to 2" segments and add to the sliced turnips. Drizzle the melted butter over the turnip/scallion mixture. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Quarter, core, peel, and cut 1 of the apples into ¼-inch to ½-inch slices. Add to the turnip mixture. Toss gently to coat. Spread the turnip mixture onto a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place in the oven.
• After 10 minutes, toss the mixture on the tray, to promote even browning and caramelization. Return the tray to the oven on the bottom rack for an additional 10-12 minutes.
• Remove the tray from the oven. Drizzle the honey over the vegetables and return to the oven for an additional 1-2 minutes.
• Remove the tray from the oven. Drizzle the apple cider vinegar over the warm vegetables. Toss gently to coat. Mound the turnips and apples on a wide platter, and shave the remaining apple over the warm vegetables. Serve immediately.

BRAISED TURNIP GREENS WITH TURNIPS AND APPLES

• Add turnips and apples to greens with vinegar, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper and cook at a bare simmer, covered, stirring and turning ham hock occasionally, until turnips and apples are tender but not falling apart, about 20 minutes more. Remove from heat and stir in butter and salt to taste.

CLASSIC TURNIP AND APPLE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F; butter a casserole dish (or spray with Pam) and set aside.
• Peel and dice turnip (this can be a tough job, as turnips are very dense) and place in a large pot.
• Cover with cold, lightly salted water and bring to a boil.
• Boil until turnip is tender (this takes longer than potatoes, usually), then drain and return to the pot.
• Mash turnip with the 1 tbsp butter and cream; stir in 1/4 cup brown sugar and the cinnamon; set aside.
• Peel apples, core, and slice.
• In prepared casserole dish, layer 1/3 of the turnip, then half the sliced apples, then 1/3 of the turnip, then the remaining apples, then the remaining turnip; smooth top.

• When ready to bake, combine topping ingredients in a small bowl until they are crumbly; sprinkle over top of turnip.
