Categories     quick, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds small turnips or daikon radish
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt
pepper
2 small garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and roughly chopped
Zest of 1/2 lemon
3 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
Juice of 1/2 lemon, or to taste

Steps:

  • Peel turnips, halve lengthwise and slice into half-moons 1/4-inch thick.
  • Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if needed, add turnips. Sauté, turning often and lowering the heat if necessary, until nicely browned and cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to an oven-proof serving dish. If not serving immediately, leave at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours, or refrigerate and bring to room temperature, before reheating in a 400-degree oven for 10 minutes.
  • To serve, mix garlic, capers, lemon zest and parsley; sprinkle over turnips. Drizzle with lemon juice.

This recipe was a bit bland. I think it could have used more salt and pepper.

The turnips were a bit tough, even after cooking them for the full amount of time.

These turnips were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with less sugar or honey.

I'm not a huge fan of turnips, but this recipe changed my mind. The caramelization process really mellowed out the flavor and the capers and lemon added a nice brightness. I'll definitely be making this again.

This was a delicious and easy side dish. I used baby turnips and they cooked perfectly in the time specified. The caramelized flavor was amazing and the capers and lemon added a nice zing.

This dish was easy to make and packed with flavor. The turnips were perfectly caramelized and the capers and lemon added a nice salty and tangy touch. I served it as a side dish with roasted chicken and it was a hit.

These turnips were a delightful surprise! I wasn't sure what to expect, but the combination of caramelized sweetness, tangy capers, and bright lemon was absolutely delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.
