Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 pound turnips, cut into 1-inch pieces
3/4 pound carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Put the vegetables in a skillet just large enough to hold them in a single layer. Add enough water so that it comes halfway up their sides along with the butter and sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat, then adjust the heat to maintain a simmer. Cover the vegetables with a round of parchment paper just large enough to fit the inside diameter of the pan, or with a lid set ajar. Simmer the vegetables until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the cover and raise the heat to high. Toss the vegetables frequently in the pan, as the liquid evaporates to a shiny smooth glaze. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.

CARAMELIZED TURNIPS , CARROTS AND PARSNIPS



Caramelized Turnips , Carrots and Parsnips image

Turnips that are sufficiently young and tender need only be rinsed and dried before cooking; older purple-top turnips will need to be peeled. Make sure the veggies are about the same size. If you enjoy Garlic a couple of clove added to this is wonderful!

  • Roast for 5 minutes more and check for doneness - depending on the water content of the veggies, they can take from 15 to 30 minutes. The turnips are done when they are fork tender and nicely caramelized.
