Today Dan and I went over to his brother's place to celebrate his nephew's 15th birthday. We of course brought Daisy and let her run free for a few hours, doggy heaven. She made a dog friend, Bella the golden lab puppy from across the street, so they frolicked and sniffed for most of the afternoon together. Alec has a great garden in his backyard, we went down there to pick yellow beans for lunch and he discovered that he already has some massive turnips. We dug up a lot of these and while Jesse cooked up some delicious sour cream bread, tabouli, and soup I decided to make some honeyed turnips. Here's how you do it:
HONEYED TURNIPS
-several turnips, cubed
-1/4 cup water
-pinch of salt
-butter
-honey
1) Put about a 1/4 cup of water and a pinch of salt in a pan and place on stove top, turn to medium high and let boil.
2) Add your turnips to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the turnips are soft when you prick them with a fork. (If there is still water in the pan, drain it off. If the water evaporated and the turnips aren't soft yet, add a little more water)
3) Put a few pats of butter and squeeze plenty of honey all over the turnips and sautee for about 10 minutes, letting the turnips brown a little bit.
4) Serve warm.
