Good vegetable! southern way! Ingredients:
water to cover, enough to cover turnips and apples, not salted |
1 pound purple-topped turnips, trimmed, peeled and chopped into equal-size pieces |
2 apples, peeled and quartered |
1/2 cup dry white wine |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 talespoon cream |
salt & pepper to taste |
fresh grated nutmeg |
Directions:
1. Bring the water to boil while the prepping the turnips. (To save a dish, pick a saucepan that you can also do the mashing in.) Add the turnips, cover and let simmer for 15 minutes. [TURN THE OVEN ON TO 300F.] Add the apples and cook for another 15 - 20 minutes, until turnips are fully cooked (a knife should slip in and out with no trouble). Drain and return to hot pot. Mash til smooth (a little texture is good, these mash very easily with a hand masher). Add the wine, butter and cream. Season to taste.
2. Transfer to a baking dish (individual ramekins look kinda cool ...) and top with nutmeg. Bake for 30 minutes. Reheats well in the microwave.
