Ingredients
1 cup water
1 very large turnip or 2 medium turnips, washed, peeled and cubed
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon maple syrup
Preparation
Wash hands with soap and water.
In a large skillet or pan, bring the water to a boil and add the cubed turnips. Cover with a lid and let the turnips steam through for about 5 minutes, until you can just pierce them with a fork. (You don’t want them mushy by overcooking.)
Drain the water and place pan back on the burner, lowering the heat to medium.
Add the olive oil, garlic and maple syrup to the turnips. Stir, then cover.
Cook turnips for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. (It’s okay if they brown a bit.)
Serve hot and enjoy, perhaps as a side with turnip greens.
