The Rustic Turnip


As the temperatures cool

and the weather changes

so does our cuisine.

I love this time of year for many reasons.

I love The Food of Autumn.

It is delicious

and beautiful.

Spit roasted squab, roast pheasant, and other game birds.

All the different types of squash.

And how about the various root vegetables?

Be sure to try my:

Braised Turnips

Wash, peel, and cut Turnips into wedges.

Saute wedges in Butter.

Season with Salt and Pepper.

As the Butter diminishes add warmed Chicken Stock by the ladle.

Repeat every 5 minutes, or as needed.

When the Turnips are tender, but not too tender,

fold in some Dark Muscovado Sugar from Mauritius,

Lemon juice,

and Hungarian Hot Paprika.

Then serve

&

smile.
