Sauteed Turnips With Herbs Food

ROASTED TURNIPS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 400 F. While the oven heats, trim and peel the turnips. Tender baby turnips can be simply scrubbed instead of peeled, but their peel will still be a bit more fibrous than the tender insides. Leave baby turnips whole; cut bigger ones into 1-inch pieces.
• Put the prepared turnips in a baking pan or on a baking sheet. Drizzle them with olive oil. Use your hands or 2 large spoons to toss the turnips around a bit to coat them thoroughly with the oil. Sprinkle them with salt.
• Roast the turnips until they're tender and browned. Start checking them after about 30 minutes. Depending on their size and age, it may take up to an hour or more to become completely tender. Sprinkle with more salt and pepper, if you'd like, and serve.

SAUTEED TURNIPS WITH HERBS

Steps:

• 1. Heat olive oil in medium saute pan over medium to medium-low heat.
• 2. Slice onions, turnips, and mushrooms thinly (1/4 inch or so) and add to pan. Cover and stir occasionally.
• 3. When all the veggies are mostly cooked and tender, add salt, pepper, herbs, and a splash of red wine. Stir and return cover.
• 4. In a separate dish, blend butter and flour. I have found this easier on a small plate with a fork. This is a French technique with a fancy name for thickening sauces.
• 5. Turn heat to low and add butter-flour mixture, stirring gently until well blended.
• 6. I like to serve over rice or chicken.
• 7. Variations: add finely chopped bacon or pancetta, brown in pan before adding sliced veg. Turnips can be omitted for a great sauce over meat. Omit red wine and add spices like curry, cinnamon, and garam masala for Indian flair, or cumin, garlic, and adobo for a Latin touch.

SAUTéED TURNIPS AND RED PEPPERS
