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.

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.

1 1/2 lbs boneless chicken
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 (19 ounce) can pineapple chunks in juice

  • Peel and slice the turnips evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the turnips will steam instead of brown.
  • Cook the turnips over medium heat: This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.
  • Stir the turnips frequently: This will prevent them from burning.
  • Add the glaze at the end of cooking: This will help the turnips retain their color and flavor.
  • Serve the turnips immediately: They are best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the skillet.
