Categories     side-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups heavy cream
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 bundle fresh thyme
Pinch cayenne
Kosher salt
1/2 stick butter, plus more for greasing
2 pounds turnips, peeled and very thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and very thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place the cream, garlic, thyme and cayenne in a saucepan, and season with salt. Taste to make sure it is adequately seasoned. Bring to a boil and then turn off the heat. Steep the mixture for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Grease the baking dish and layer in one-third of the sliced turnips. Sprinkle one-sixth of the grated cheese over the turnips and dot with one-sixth of the butter. Remove the thyme and garlic from the cream and pour one-sixth of the cream over the turnips. Repeat the layering five more times, alternating the turnip with sweet potato, until all of the ingredients are used up, for a total of six layers.
  • Cover the dish with foil, place on a baking sheet and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until golden, another 20 minutes. When done, a fork should slide in and out of the center of the dish easily.
  • Rest the dish 10 to 12 minutes, then serve.

COUSCOUS WITH TURNIPS AND SWEET POTATOES



Couscous With Turnips and Sweet Potatoes image

Turnips store well and are a vegetable you can count on during the winter. They are rich in sulfuric compounds, particularly glucosinolates, that are believed to have antioxidant properties. They're also a very good source of potassium. When you can get them with the greens attached, they're a two-in-one crop, like beets, as their greens bring you a whole new set of nutrients - lots of calcium, vitamin K, vitamin A and beta carotene - and culinary possibilities. Turnip greens are similar in flavor to kale, perhaps a little more bitter, and with a more delicate texture. Winter turnips are not sweet and tender like young spring turnips. They stand up to longer cooking times, so they're perfect for soups, stews and gratins. But I found them equally welcome in a frittata and a stir-fry. This spicy, comforting couscous demands little in the way of prep time. It's the long simmer on the stove that results in the tasty broth. As it simmers, the sweet potato falls apart into small bits that tint the broth.
