Turnips And Onions Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare the pearl onions: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice water. Add the pearl onions to the boiling water and cook 1 minute. Drain and transfer to the ice water to stop the cooking. Drain again, then slip off the skins.
• Combine the turnips, butter, honey, lemon zest, bay leaves, 1 3/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 cup water in a large nonstick skillet. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then cover and cook until the turnips are just slightly tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Stir in the parsnips and pearl onions, cover and cook until the vegetables are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Uncover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is evaporated, 5 to 7 minutes. Gently toss the vegetables to coat and transfer to a serving dish. Top with the chives.

Steps:

• Toss 1 pound halved baby turnips and 10 ounces small white mushroom caps on a baking sheet with 2 teaspoons chopped rosemary. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Turn the turnips cut-side down, then roast at 425 degrees F until golden and tender, 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Peel turnips, cut in half lenthwise, then slice each half crosswise into thin slices.
• Arrange alternate layers of turnip and onion in a greased 2 1/2-quart casserole dish.
• Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
• Dissolve bouillon cube in boiling water and pour over vegetables.
• Dot with butter or margarine.
• Cover casserole with foil or lid and bake 1 hour 15 minutes, or until turnips are tender.

Steps:

• Heat Olive oil in a heavy skillet add the onions, cook over low heat for approximately 45 minutes or until they are golden and caramelized.
• Meanwhile boil the rutabagas in salted water, cook until soft, drain and mash well then beat in the butter.
• Stir in the caramelized onions, taste and adjust seasoning.
• Serve piping hot (reheat in the oven if necessary).

Steps:

• Place turnips into large stockpot with water, bring to a boil. Add sugar. Cook until tender. While turnips are cooking, saute onions in 3 tablespoons butter until translucent. Cook bacon in a saucepan until crisp, drain. Using a ricer, rice all the turnips into another pot. Add onions, bacon, the rest of the butter, cream, maple syrup, garlic, salt and pepper and stir just like mashed potatoes. Put in baking dish and then put 4 strips of bacon across top of dish. Bake for 1 hour at 300 degrees. Guide: When bacon on top is done, ready to serve. Can be frozen in dish for up to 3 months.

Steps:

• In a bowl toss the turnips and the onion with the cornstarch, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan and salt and pepper to taste and transfer the mixture to a buttered 9-inch-square baking dish, patting it down. Drizzle the cream evenly over the mixture, sprinkle the mixture with the remaining 1 tablespoon Parmesan, and bake the gratin in the middle of a preheated 375°F. oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden.

Steps:

• Wash the greens in several changes of water in the sink until no more grit is seen. Chop the greens coarsely. Bring a large pot of water to boil and add the greens, the turnip, and the sugar. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until tender. Drain.
• In a large skillet, sauté the bacon until it gives up its grease. Add the onion and cook 7 minutes until the onion is soft. Toss the greens with the bacon and onion. Add the lemon pepper and salt. Serve with Louisiana hot-pepper sauce.
• Variation:
• Green beans. Substitute 1 pound fresh green beans, cleaned and snapped. Omit the sugar.

Steps:

• Place cubed turnips in a covered microwave-proof dish along with 1 tablespoons of water. Microwave on high for 7 minutes. Remove and drain well.
• In a non-stick skillet on medium high heat, cook the bacon until they just begin to turn brown.
• Add onion and saute until onion becomes translucent.
• Stir in turnips and saute for another 5 - 7 minutes or until the turnps are cripsy and a bit brown on the outside.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450*.
• In a high-sided 13x9 in pan (I use an old metal one because I find it gives me the best caramelization on the turnips/onions), combine turnips, onions, and garlic. Spray generously with cooking spray and toss. You could also use olive oil.
• Add all seasonings. I usually start with about 2 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of black pepper and then taste them each time I stir and adjust those seasonings to taste, but I am a salt-fiend : }.
• Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from oven and stir to allow the veggies to cook evenly. (I taste for seasoning at this point.)
• Return to oven and bake another 15 minutes. Remove and stir again. Depending on how you like your turnips and how thick you sliced them, they may be done at this point. I like mine pretty well done and with some nice caramelization so I return them to the oven and bake an additional 10-15 minutes.

Steps:

• NOTE: I GUESSED THE AMOUNTS OF WATER AND SALT AS THE ORIGINAL RECIPE GIVES NO AMOUNTS FOR BOTH, SO USE AS A GUIDELINE ONLY. :).
• Place the pork and onions in a 5 or 6 quart stock pot. Add enough water just to cover. Season with salt and pepper. Place on high heat and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until pork is very tender, about 1 hour.
• Remove pork from pot. When cool enough to handle, take the meat off the bones and cut into small pieces. Reserve for later.
• Add the turnips to the broth. Add more salt and pepper to taste. Bring back to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer until turnips are tender, about 30 minutes.
• Add the reserved pork and cook another 5 minutes. Taste for seasoning. Serve immediately, or keep over very low heat.
• Notes (by original author): Although my mother would never do it, you could first brown the meat in a little oil to add extra flavor to the broth. Sometimes turnips are slightly more bitter, depending on the season. When that happens, we usually add a little sugar to the broth.
• NUTRITIONAL FACTS: Amount of fat and calories in the dish will be much less if you spoon off fat on top of broth and remove excess of fat when cutting up meat.
