MAPLE GLAZED TURNIPS



MAPLE GLAZED TURNIPS image

Categories     Vegetable     Side     Fry

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

6-8 medium sized turnips
1/2 cup of maple syrup (per frying pan full)
1 tsp of sage (per frying pan full)
1 tsp of marjoram (per frying pan full)
1-2 tbsp of sesame seeds (per frying pan full)
1-2 tbsp butter (per frying pan full)

Steps:

  • Chop turnips into 1" squares approximately. Boil till almost done. (Do not over boil as they still have to fry.) Drain turnips. Melt butter in frying pan. Add turnips, maple syrup, sage, marjoram and sesame seeds. Fry until turnips are golden brown. Repeat until all the turnips have been fried. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose young turnips: Look for turnips that are small, firm, and have smooth skin. Avoid turnips that are large, soft, or have blemishes.
  • Peel the turnips thinly: This will help the turnips cook evenly and will also prevent the skins from becoming tough.
  • Use a variety of glazes: The type of glaze you use will determine the flavor of your turnips. Some popular glazes include brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, and balsamic vinegar. You can also add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to your glaze.
  • Cook the turnips until they are tender: The turnips should be tender enough to be easily pierced with a fork. However, you don't want to overcook them, or they will become mushy.
  • Serve the turnips immediately: Glazed turnips are best served hot or warm. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course.

Conclusion:

Glazed turnips are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be prepared in a variety of ways. Whether you are looking for a simple side dish or a more elaborate main course, glazed turnips are sure to please.
