Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups light olive or vegetable oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 to 6 shallots, peeled and sliced into thin rings
2 large yellow turnips (rutabagas), about 4 pounds total
Kosher salt
1 cup whole milk
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) salted butter
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oil and unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat until it reaches 220 degrees F. Reduce the heat to low, add the shallots, and cook until they are a rich golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes. The temperature should stay below 260 degrees F. Stir the shallots occasionally to make sure they brown evenly. Remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon, drain well, and spread out to cool on paper towels. Once they have dried and crisped, they can be stored at room temperature, covered, for several days.
  • Peel the turnips to remove the waxy skins and cut them into generous 1-inch chunks. Place them in a saucepan with water to cover and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil and simmer, covered, until easily pierced by a paring knife, about 35 minutes. Drain.
  • In a separate saucepan, heat the milk and salted butter over low heat until the butter has melted and the milk just begins to simmer.
  • Puree the turnips in several batches in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. With the motor running, add the melted butter and milk in a steady stream. The turnips should be smooth.
  • Return the puree to the saucepan, season with 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper, and reheat, stirring, over medium heat. Serve piping hot, sprinkled generously with crispy shallots.

Caramelized Turnips , Carrots and Parsnips image

Turnips that are sufficiently young and tender need only be rinsed and dried before cooking; older purple-top turnips will need to be peeled. Make sure the veggies are about the same size. If you enjoy Garlic a couple of clove added to this is wonderful!

Categories     Vegetable

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 small turnips, quartered
2 carrots, cut into 2 inches pieces
2 parsnips, cut into 2 inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt
fresh ground black pepper
4 garlic cloves, slightly crushed

Spread them out in an even layer on a baking sheet and roast them for about 10 minutes, then toss them once (if tossed more frequently, they tend to break apart as they become tender).
  • Roast for 5 minutes more and check for doneness - depending on the water content of the veggies, they can take from 15 to 30 minutes. The turnips are done when they are fork tender and nicely caramelized.

MASHED YELLOW TURNIPS WITH CRISPY SHALLOTS



Mashed Yellow Turnips With Crispy Shallots image

Provided by Moira Hodgson

Categories     dinner, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups light vegetable or olive oil
9 tablespoons butter
5 to 6 shallots peeled and sliced into thin rings
2 large yellow turnips (rutabagas), about four pounds
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, heat the oil with three tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat until it begins to bubble. Reduce the heat to low, add the shallots, and cook them until they are a rich golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Stir the shallots occasionally while they are cooking to make sure they brown evenly.
  • Remove the shallots from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels. Once the shallots have dried and crisped, in about 15 minutes, they can be stored in a cool place, covered, for several days. Serve the shallots at room temperature.
  • Peel the turnips to remove their waxy skins and cut them into generous one-inch chunks. Put them in a saucepan with water to cover and one teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil and simmer covered, until the turnips are easily pierced by a paring knife, about 35 minutes.
  • In a separate saucepan, heat the milk and the remaining six tablespoons of butter over low heat until the butter has melted and the milk just begins to simmer.
  • Drain the turnips and puree (in several batches, if necessary) in a food processor. With the motor running, add the melted butter and milk in a steady stream. The turnips should be very smooth.
  • Return the turnip puree to the saucepan, season with one teaspoon salt and the pepper and reheat, stirring, over medium flame. Serve piping hot, sprinkle generously with crispy shallots.

Tips:

  • Choose the right turnips: Look for small, young turnips with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid turnips that are large, woody, or have blemishes.
  • Peel the turnips thinly: Use a sharp knife to peel the turnips thinly, removing only the outer layer of skin. This will help the turnips caramelize evenly.
  • Slice the turnips evenly: Cut the turnips into even-sized pieces so that they cook evenly. If the pieces are too thick, they will not caramelize properly. If the pieces are too thin, they will overcook and become mushy.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet: A heavy-bottomed skillet will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the turnips from burning.
  • Cook the turnips over medium heat: Cook the turnips over medium heat so that they have time to caramelize slowly and evenly. If you cook the turnips over high heat, they will burn on the outside before they have a chance to caramelize on the inside.
  • Stir the turnips frequently: Stir the turnips frequently so that they cook evenly and do not stick to the pan.
  • Add the shallots towards the end of cooking: Add the shallots towards the end of cooking so that they have time to soften but do not overcook.
  • Season the turnips to taste: Season the turnips with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices to taste.

Conclusion:

Caramelized turnips and shallots are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them sweet, savory, or somewhere in between, caramelized turnips and shallots are sure to please everyone at the table.
