Baby Turnips Side Dish

Below is a straightforward baby turnips recipe that will serve four to 6 people as one side dish.

I simply enjoy eating baby turnips. I enjoy them raw for a quick munchie or to go with a sandwich at lunch time. When I happen to be am rounding up ingredients for chicken noodle, turkey noodle, beef and noodle, or vegetable soup, I merely plunk them in the cooking pot whole. Their small size makes sure that I don\’t have to work over slicing them up for soups however they\’re robust enough to end up being simmered for a long time in the pot without shredding to pieces. Down below is a recipe for baby turnips to be a side dish.

Ingredients:
1 lb . or 16 oz . of peeled, raw baby turnips (if you work with homegrown turnips from a garden, then you\’ll need 8-10 turnips with this recipe)

3 tbsps white sugar

1 tbs unsalted butter

Pinch of salt

Water to cover

You can put turnips, sugar, butter and salt within a medium size pot and put water until it merely barely covers the tops of your turnips. Bring water to a boil and then reduce heat to medium. Let the water to evaporate while your turnips boil and just pour in a bit of water when necessary to stop the turnips from carmelizing on the pot. Every so often stir the turnips to be sure thorough cooking. Carry on and cook the turnips at a slow boil for eight or ten min\’s or until all the turnips soft when pierced with a fork. Drain all of the water and serve either cold or hot.

You can easily adjust this baby turnips recipe to own liking by using more sugar or salt. Should you prefer a sweeter carrot recipe, add one more tablespoon of white sugar. Be sure to adjust the sugar to water proportions to guarantee that there is sufficient water to dissolve the additional sugar.

If a lot of sugar is poured in and the water in the boiling pan isn\’t increased, then the turnips can become sticky sweet and there is a possibility for the sugar to burn inside the pot. Relish this baby turnips recipe!
