TANGY SKILLET TURNIPS AND POTATOES



Tangy Skillet Turnips and Potatoes image

Turnips play an important role in Friulian cuisine, especially in the form called brovada-turnips that have fermented for several months, as a way to preserve them and to develop a pronounced and appetizing acidity. Brovada is incorporated in many dishes, grated and braised with sausages and other meats, in soups, or just as a tangy and healthful vegetable. This recipe, using fresh turnips, produces a side dish in the same vein as brovada, with distinctive acidity, well suited to accompany all sorts of cured and fresh meats. It is full of typical Friulian flavors, but you do not have to wait months for the turnip to ferment!

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 pound thick bacon slices, cut crosswise in 1-inch pieces
1 onion sliced (1 cup)
4 plump garlic cloves, crushed and peeled
1 1/2 pounds white turnips, trimmed, peeled, cut in 1-inch chunks
1 1/2 pounds waxy potatoes, peeled and cut in 1-inch chunks
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup water
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
A heavy-bottomed skillet or sauté pan, 12-inch diameter or larger, with a cover

Steps:

  • Pour 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in the big skillet, scatter in the bacon pieces, and set over medium-high heat. When the bacon starts to render fat, toss in the onion slices and garlic cloves. Cook, stirring and tossing, until the bacon is starting to crisp and the onion is just beginning to color.
  • Pile all the turnip and potato chunks in the pan, sprinkle with salt, and toss everything together well for a couple of minutes. Lower the heat, cover the pan, and cook for about 15 minutes, occasionally turning the turnips and potatoes over as they soften and start to color.
  • Stir together the vinegar, sugar, and 1/4 cup water. Push aside the vegetables to clear a space on the skillet bottom. Pour the vinegar into the hot spot, and as it sizzles, toss and turn the vegetables to moisten them. Spread the chunks in a layer filling the pan, cover, and cook for several minutes, until they've crisped on the bottom, then toss well and spread out again.
  • Cook, covered, tossing and spreading every 4 minutes or so, until the potatoes and turnips are tender to the bite and caramelized all over, about 15 minutes. Season with more salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve right from the skillet, or heap the chunks in a warm bowl. Drizzle over the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, toss in the chopped parsley, and serve hot.

MASHED POTATOES WITH TURNIPS AND BACON



Mashed Potatoes With Turnips and Bacon image

Are you sure you don't like turnips? This recipe might change your mind. If you are positive, you could substitute diced carrots, parsnips or celery root but you will need to increase the butter to 4 tablespoons. This is another December, 2007, Cook's Illustrated magazine recipe and the point stressed was to always rinse your peeled, sliced potatoes 3-4 times under cold running water to remove starch. There, I've told you. ;-) Now on with the show ...

Provided by SusieQusie

Categories     Pork

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 ounces bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons bacon fat
2 tablespoons butter
8 ounces turnips, peeled and cut into a 1/2-inch dice (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 1/2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, peeled, quartered and cut into 1/4 inch slices
1/3 cup low-fat chicken broth
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup half-and-half, warmed
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leave, minced

Steps:

  • In a large heavy pan, cook bacon over medium heat until brown and crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel and set aside.
  • Drain off all except 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat. Add the butter and heat pan over medium heat until foaming subsides.
  • Add the turnips and cook, stirring occasionally, until butter is browned and turnips are dark brown and slightly caramelized, 10-12 minutes. (if after 4 minutes turnips have not started to brown, increase heat).
  • Add potatoes, broth and salt. Cook covered over low heat (broth should simmer gently; do not boil), until potatoes fall apart easily when poked with a fork and all liquid is absorbed. (25-30 minutes).
  • Remove pan from heat, remove lid and allow steam to escape; about 2 minutes.
  • Gently mash veggies together with a potato masher. Fold in half-and-half, reserved bacon bits and thyme. Taste for seasoning; add more salt if needed and pepper to taste.

GLAZED TURNIPS WITH BACON



Glazed Turnips with Bacon image

Turnips have an inherent sweetness that is highlighted by the syrup, cider vinegar and Dijon mustard combination used to make the bright glaze. The smokiness of the bacon provides a savory counterpoint.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 slices thick-cut bacon, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
2 pounds baby turnips, peeled and halved or quartered
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons apple-cider vinegar, preferably unfiltered
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium, stirring frequently, until browned and most of fat is rendered, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Add turnips, broth, maple syrup, vinegar, and mustard to skillet; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until turnips are knife-tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Uncover and increase heat to medium. Add butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens to a glaze that evenly coats turnips, 10 to 12 minutes. Top with bacon; serve.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cut bacon or bacon bits.
  • If you don't have a large skillet, you can cook the bacon and vegetables in batches.
  • For a crispy texture, cook the bacon and vegetables until they are slightly browned.
  • To add a bit of sweetness, sprinkle the vegetables with brown sugar before cooking.
  • For a more savory dish, add a teaspoon of dried thyme or rosemary to the vegetables.
  • Serve the skillet turnips and potatoes with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
