Grilled Turnips With Herb Butter Recipes

PARMESAN CRUSTED CRUSHED TURNIPS

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.

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.
