Southern Turnip Supreme Recipes

Steps:

• Combine turnips and vegetable broth in a deep skillet over medium heat and cook until liquid has evaporated and turnips are soft, about 15 minutes. Stir in butter until melted. Sprinkle with sugar. Cook and stir over low heat until sugar has caramelized, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Grind bonito flakes in a spice mill or blender until finely ground (you should have about 2 Tbsp.). Bring ground bonito, sugar, soy sauce, mirin, and togarashi to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring often, until reduced by a third, 12-15 minutes. Pour dressing into a small bowl; cover and chill until cold, at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days. Stir in lemon zest and juice.
• Meanwhile, separate tops from turnips. Trim stems from leaves; discard. Coarsely chop leaves. Cut turnips into 1" wedges. Toss turnips and leaves with oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season lightly with salt (the dressing is salty). Roast, tossing halfway through, until leaves are wilted and turnips have taken on a touch of color, 12-15 minutes.
• Transfer turnips and leaves to a platter; spoon some of the dressing over (you'll have extra). Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Place the vegetable bouillon cube into a saucepan with the water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until the bouillon cube dissolves, about 1 minute. Stir in the turnips, onion, and garlic, return to a boil, and cook the mixture until the turnips are tender, about 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook until most of the liquid has been evaporated, 10 to 15 more minutes.
• Lightly stir in the sour cream to coat the turnips. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and top with shredded Cheddar cheese and parsley.
