TURNIPS BRAISED IN BEEF BROTH

Steps:

• 1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the turnips and cook for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• 2. Again in a large pot, melt the butter over a medium flame. Add the diced bacon and cook till very lightly browned. Add the onions, reduce the heat, and cook over a low flame until the onions are soft but not brown. Add the flour and cook, stirring, for a couple of minutes.
• 3. Stir in the turnips, broth, sugar, sage, pepper. Cover and simmer slowly for about half an hour, or until the turnips are tender. Every 10 min. or so give it a stir to make sure the mixture is cooking evenly.
• 4. Taste for seasoning. You might need a little bit of salt, or you might not, depending on the beef broth and the bacon you used.

BRAISED BEEF WITH RADISH OR TURNIPS

Steps:

• Cut the beef into cubes about 1 - 1 1/2 inch thick. Peel the radish or turnips and cut into cubes about the same size. (If using regular radishes, peel and thinly slice).
• Combine the dark soy sauce, rice wine or sherry and green onion in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large pot on medium heat. Add the ginger and garlic and then the beef. Cook for 4 - 5 minutes to brown the beef, turning it over at least once.
• Stir in the soy sauce mixture and allow to cook for a minute. Add the water and bring to a boil. (Add the pepper at this time if using). Turn down the heat, cover, and simmer for 1 hour (in simmering the temperature is just below the boiling point).
• Add the radish and stir in the sugar. Simmer, uncovered, for 20 more minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning, add more pepper and/or salt if desired.

BRAISED TURNIPS

Steps:

• Add the butter to a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the turnips to the pan and cook until slightly browned and just tender, about 10 minutes. Add the greens and stock, and simmer until the turnips are cooked through and greens are tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and season with salt and pepper to serve.

Steps:

• Put the turnips, chicken stock, 1/2 tablespoon of the butter, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium skillet. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a bare simmer and cook, covered, until the turnips are just tender, about 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the turnips to a bowl.
• Increase the heat to medium high and boil the remaining chicken stock until it reduces to 2 tablespoons, about 7 minutes. Off the heat, return the turnips to the skillet. Add the remaining tablespoon butter and the tarragon; stir until the butter is melted and the turnips are well coated. Garnish with additional chopped tarragon.

MY CHICKEN BROTH-BRAISED BABY TURNIPS

Steps:

• Peel the turnips and put them in a large bowl with the sugar and pinch of fine salt. Toss to coat the turnips thoroughly.
• In a large pot, melt the butter. When it is blond and foamy, add the turnips to the pot in a single layer and brown on all sides. When they are golden brown, add a third of the chicken broth and cook, covered, over low heat until the broth has been completely absorbed. Repeat a second and then a third time: When this is done, the turnips are cooked. (Turnips should never be left dry in the pot. If the broth reduces too quickly, add a bit of water when necessary.)
• Drizzle with a few spoons of chicken jus or olive oil and bring to a simmer. When it begins to bubble, sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

BEEF BROTH BRAISED BEEF STEW

Steps:

• I like to use a Dutch oven to make the stew, but a good sized pot with a thick bottom will do the trick.
• In a Dutch oven, over medium high heat add the oil and garlic, once it starts to brown the oil will be hot enough to add the beef. Remove the meat, after browning on all sides, and place to the side; add butter and allow to melt.
• Sauté the onions, carrots and celery until soft, add the Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, thyme and red wine.
• Deglaze the pot making sure to get all the browned bits stuck to the bottom, these add flavor. Add beef, beef broth and bay leaves.
• Cover and bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Place in a 325F oven for 30 minutes, add potatoes, carrots and turnips. Gently incorporate into the stew, return to the oven for another 2 hours. Stir every 30 minutes.
• If time permits, make the day before, letting you stew sit overnight, it will enhance the flavors.
• If you do not use red wine, add 2 cups extra broth.
