BEER BRAISED LAMB SHOULDER WITH ONIONS AND TURNIPS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Rub the lamb with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Preheat a 14-inch cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned lamb and sear for 5 minutes. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until browned, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Once heated, add the leeks and onions and cook until they begin to become tender, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
- After 30 minutes, remove one of the lamb shoulders from the oven and set aside. Add half of the turnips to the pan and return to the oven. Allow to continue roasting until everything is cooked through, about another 30 minutes.
- Add the other lamb shoulder to a stovetop pressure cooker along with the cooked leeks, onions, beer and remaining turnips. Secure the pressure cooker lid and follow the manufacturer's instructions to bring to high pressure over medium heat. Pressure cook for 20 minutes. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to carefully quick-release the steam and unlock the lid. Add everything in the pressure cooker to a large pan or shallow dish and stir, breaking up the lamb. Add to a platter. Add the roasted lamb and turnips to the same platter and serve.

BRAISED TURNIPS WITH POPPY-SEED BREAD CRUMBS
Turnips are appreciated in Algeria not only for their faithful ubiquity but also for how their characteristics change throughout the winter-sweet and mild at the beginning and assertively earthy toward the end. Here, to emphasize their natural nuttiness and complexity, they're gently glazed with butter, then sprinkled with garlicky toasted bread crumbs and abundant poppy seeds.

BEER BRAISED TURNIPS
Turnips are a tough sell, but I find myself liking the bitterness more as I get older! These are sweet, deep, and mark the first time I have ever heard the phrase 'Can I finish the turnips?' This is a great side for turkey or pork roast.

CHINESE-STYLE BRAISED BEEF WITH TURNIPS
Steps:
- In a 1 1/2-quart microwave-safe dish stir together the water, the soy sauce, the Sherry, the gingerroot, the cinnamon, the sugar, the salt, and the aniseed, add the chuck, spreading it evenly, and microwave the mixture, covered, at high power (100%) for 20 minutes. Stir in the turnips and microwave the mixture, covered, at high power for 15 minutes. Stir the cornstarch mixture, stir it into the stew, and microwave the stew, covered, at high power for 2 minutes. Sprinkle the stew with the coriander and serve it with the rice.
Tips:
- Choose the right turnips: Look for small, tender turnips with smooth skin. Avoid turnips that are large, woody, or have blemishes.
- Prepare the turnips properly: Peel the turnips and cut them into 1-inch cubes. If the turnips are small, you can leave them whole.
- Brown the turnips before braising: This will help to develop their flavor and give them a nice caramelized crust.
- Use a flavorful braising liquid: The braising liquid is what will give the turnips their flavor, so make sure to use something flavorful. Beer, broth, and wine are all good options.
- Simmer the turnips until they are tender: The turnips should be tender but still hold their shape. This will usually take about 30 minutes.
- Serve the turnips warm: Beer-braised turnips are best served warm. You can garnish them with fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream.
Conclusion:
Beer-braised turnips are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner. The turnips are tender and flavorful, and the braising liquid adds a rich, complex flavor. So next time you're looking for a new side dish to try, give beer-braised turnips a try.
