GLAZED TURNIPS

DUCK FAT.. “La Délicate”

Originally from Asia, turnips are believed to offer huge health benefits, such as protection against winter infections, and benefits for the skin. High water content, high in fibre and low in calories, this is the perfect vegetable. Able to be grown in spring or autumn, the version we present here is a glazed treat for all the family.

Preparation : 10 mn

Baking : 1 hour

2 bunches of fresh turnips

60 g Sublim’ “La Délicate” duck fat

20 g caster sugar

5 g salt

1 sauté pan

Préparation

To prepare the turnips: remove the tops (you can always keep them to make a hearty soup!);
Just keep some (for decoration), and score the skin around the middle (circumference) with a small sharp knife to help them to cook;

Into a sauté pan, add Sublim’ “La Délicate” duck fat, salt and sugar,
Heat: once the mixture bubbles, add the turnips and coat them well in this syrup, then half-fill the pan with water, cover and cook over a very low heat;
Gently pierce the turnips using the tip of a wooden skewer or knife to check that they are done: they should be soft when pierced;
Once cooked, remove the lid and reduce the liquid until it coats the turnips.

These turnips make a wonderful side dish for either meat or fish…

Tip: you can replace the Sublim’ “La Délicate” duck fat with Sublim’ “Le Fondant” lard!
