Serves: 8
Ingredients
12
Turnips
4 tbs
unsalted butter at room temperature
1 clove
garlic, finely minced
1 sprig
tarragon, stemmed, finely chopped
3 tbs
curley parsley, finely chopped
1 tsp
salt
1/2 tsp
white peppercorns, freshly ground
1 tbs
lemon juice
1 tbs
olive oil, for greasing the baking dish
Step by Step Instructions
- Reserve about 1 tablespoon of curly parsley for garnish. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- In a bowl, mix the butter, garlic, tarragon, parsley and salt. Set aside.
- Wash and peel the turnips. Trim the root. Blanch the vegetables for about 3 minutes in boiling water then transfer into an ice bath. Drain thoroughly of all water and pat dry on a paper towel. Do no overcook, as the turnips will continue to cook in the oven later. With a paring knife, make a deep criss-cross incision on top of the vegetable, to stuff with butter. Work the flavored butter into the incisions and all over the outside of the turnips as well.
- Brush a baking sheet with olive oil. Place the turnips without crowding them. Roast the turnips for 20-25 minutes, until slightly browned and softened. 5 minutes before the end of cooking time, drizzle the lemon juice over the turnips. Season with more salt if necessary. Garnish with the remaining pparsley.
