SPICED TURNIPS (SHALGAM MASALA)



Spiced Turnips (Shalgam Masala) image

I love turnips. This Northern Indian dish is great way to spice up traditional mashed turnips. This dish is great garnished with fresh cilantro or parsley and served with basmati rice, or with naan bread. The amount of chiles you use really controls the heat factor in this dish.

Categories     Bon Appétit     Turnip     Lemon     Soy Sauce     Sesame     Appetizer     Side     Pescatarian     Roast     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups bonito flakes
½ cup sugar
½ cup usukuchi (light) soy sauce
¼ cup mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine)
1 Tbsp. ichimi togarashi
Zest and juice of 4 Meyer lemons or regular lemons (about ½ cup juice)
2 bunches hakurei turnips with tops
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
Kosher salt
Toasted sesame seeds (for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Grind bonito flakes in a spice mill or blender until finely ground (you should have about 2 Tbsp.). Bring ground bonito, sugar, soy sauce, mirin, and togarashi to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring often, until reduced by a third, 12-15 minutes. Pour dressing into a small bowl; cover and chill until cold, at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days. Stir in lemon zest and juice.
  • Meanwhile, separate tops from turnips. Trim stems from leaves; discard. Coarsely chop leaves. Cut turnips into 1" wedges. Toss turnips and leaves with oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season lightly with salt (the dressing is salty). Roast, tossing halfway through, until leaves are wilted and turnips have taken on a touch of color, 12-15 minutes.
  • Transfer turnips and leaves to a platter; spoon some of the dressing over (you'll have extra). Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Tips:

  • Choose the right turnips: Look for small, tender turnips with smooth skin. Avoid large, woody turnips, as they will be more difficult to cook and less flavorful.
  • Peel and cut the turnips: Use a sharp knife to peel the turnips, then cut them into 1-inch cubes. If you are using baby turnips, you can leave them whole.
  • Brown the turnips: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the turnips. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the turnips are browned on all sides.
  • Add the sauce: Pour the sauce of your choice over the turnips and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the turnips are tender.
  • Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
