Turnip Puree With Orange And Nutmeg Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the turnips, milk, thyme and garlic in a medium saucepan. Set over medium heat and partially cover the pan. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 20 to 30 minutes, until the turnips are tender-the tip of a paring knife should go through without resistance.
• Drain the turnips, reserving the cooking liquid, and transfer to a food processor (discard the thyme sprigs). Add about 1 cup of the reserved cooking liquid and the butter, season with plenty of salt and pepper and puree until smooth. Add more of the liquid, if necessary. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Halve the turnips if they are small or quarter them if they are large. Place them in a kettle and cover with cold, unsalted water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer until they are very tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and pass them through a ricer.
• Place the riced turnips in a large saucepan set over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until some of the liquid has evaporated and they are the consistency of mashed potatoes, about 20 minutes. Stir in the cream, butter, orange juice, orange zest and nutmeg and cook, stirring for 3 to 4 more minutes. Remove from the heat, season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

Steps:

• Add turnips, milk, thyme and garlic to a medium-sized sauce pot. Set over medium heat and place the lid over the pot so it is just covering. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 20 to 30 minutes until tender - the tip of a paring knife should go through without resistance.
• Remove the thyme and remove 2 cups of the liquid. Drain and place turnips back into the same pan and blend using an immersion blender or place to a food processor. Add butter and about 1 cup of the milk cooking liquid and blend. Season with salt and pepper and puree until smooth. Add more of the milk if necessary.

Steps:

• Peel, wash, and quarter turnips.
• Boil 35-45 minutes or until tender. Strain and rinse cooked turnips.
• Place in large mixing bowl and use fork to break up turnips into smaller bits. Add milk and butter. Blend to desired consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• In a medium pot over high heat, combine the turnips, potatoes and enough cold water to just cover and bring to a boil. Boil until the turnips and potatoes are very soft, about 30 minutes. Drain the water, leaving the turnips and potatoes in the pot; mash with a potato masher until smooth. (The mixture will be very wet.) Lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches the consistency of mashed potatoes, about 40 minutes. Pass the mixture through a sieve into a bowl and stir in the butter. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Toss turnips and butter in 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Sprinkle turnips with salt and pepper. Cover dish with foil. Bake until tender, about 1 hour. Remove from oven and mash coarsely. Stir in nutmeg. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Steam the turnips for 20 to 40 minutes, depending on age and size, until tender.
• Steam the pears until they are soft, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, saute the shallots in the butter until translucent.
• Either in a food processor, using the steel blade, or in a blender, puree the turnips, pears and shallots with the Gorgonzola, in batches, until all of it is pureed. Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper.
• At this point the dish may be refrigerated. To serve, spoon puree, which is quite liquid at this point, into a large skillet. Cook at a simmer, to thicken the mixture and evaporate the liquid, for about 30 minutes.
