Ingredients
- 1kg carrots, trimmed and cut lengthways in half
- 600g turnips, peeled and halved, keeping the inside leaves of the tops
- 50g butter
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 50ml water
- 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tbsp chopped parsley
- Sea salt and black pepper
TURNIPS AND CARROTS
Method
- Put all the ingredients for the carrots except the vinegar and parsley into a heavy-based pan and place over a high heat until the mixture is simmering away
- Add the turnips and turn the heat right down, covering the pan and cook for about 10 minutes, frequently checking and stirring the carrots to make sure they don’t stick and burn
- When the carrots are almost cooked, uncover the pan, increase the heat slightly and stir in the turnip tops and balsamic vinegar
- Cook for 3 minutes, then turn off the heat and stir in the parsley
Comments
This combination is nothing new but it works so well and it is a great way of encouraging people to try the ‘mighty’ turnip.
