Turnip Puree With Orange And Nutmeg Food

BUTTERED TURNIP PUREE

Steps:

• Combine the turnips, milk, thyme and garlic in a medium saucepan. Set over medium heat and partially cover the pan. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 20 to 30 minutes, until the turnips are tender-the tip of a paring knife should go through without resistance.
• Drain the turnips, reserving the cooking liquid, and transfer to a food processor (discard the thyme sprigs). Add about 1 cup of the reserved cooking liquid and the butter, season with plenty of salt and pepper and puree until smooth. Add more of the liquid, if necessary. Serve hot.

TURNIP PUREE WITH ORANGE AND NUTMEG

Steps:

• Halve the turnips if they are small or quarter them if they are large. Place them in a kettle and cover with cold, unsalted water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer until they are very tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and pass them through a ricer.
• Place the riced turnips in a large saucepan set over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until some of the liquid has evaporated and they are the consistency of mashed potatoes, about 20 minutes. Stir in the cream, butter, orange juice, orange zest and nutmeg and cook, stirring for 3 to 4 more minutes. Remove from the heat, season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

BUTTERED TURNIP PUREE

Steps:

• Add turnips, milk, thyme and garlic to a medium-sized sauce pot. Set over medium heat and place the lid over the pot so it is just covering. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 20 to 30 minutes until tender - the tip of a paring knife should go through without resistance.
• Remove the thyme and remove 2 cups of the liquid. Drain and place turnips back into the same pan and blend using an immersion blender or place to a food processor. Add butter and about 1 cup of the milk cooking liquid and blend. Season with salt and pepper and puree until smooth. Add more of the milk if necessary.

TRIO OF MASHED ROOTS (PARSNIP, TURNIP AND CARROT)

Steps:

• Mix butter, cream, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper into vegetables; roughly mash together with a potato masher until vegetables are broken down but individual colors are still visible.
