Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds turnips, peeled, cut into 1x1" strips (about 6 cups)
1/2 pound carrots, peeled, thinly sliced on a diagonal (2 cups)
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1" pieces, divided
1/2 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1 2" piece ginger, peeled, very thinly sliced
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 cup shelled roasted chestnuts from a jar
2 tablespoons minced assorted herbs (such as flat-leaf parsley, tarragon, and chives)

Steps:

  • Cut a 12" round of parchment paper; snip a hole about the size of a quarter in the center of round. Combine turnips, carrots, 8 tablespoons butter, brown sugar, and ginger in a 12" skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Rest parchment round on top of vegetables (do not cover with lid).
  • Simmer over medium-high heat until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Discard parchment; add remaining 4 tablespoons butter and chestnuts. Simmer, swirling pan often, until a glaze forms, 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a large bowl. Garnish with herbs.

This recipe was a disaster! The turnips were tough, the carrots were mushy, and the chestnuts were burnt.

Overall, this recipe was good, but not great. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit too sweet. I think I'll try it again with less sugar next time.

I didn't have any chestnuts on hand, so I used walnuts instead. It was still delicious!

I added a bit of rosemary to the glaze and it really enhanced the flavor. Highly recommend!

I substituted parsnips for the turnips and it was a great success! The parsnips added a nice sweetness to the dish.

This recipe was okay, but I've had better. The glaze was a bit too tangy for my taste.

I followed the recipe exactly and my dish didn't turn out well. The turnips were tough and the chestnuts were undercooked.
