Step 3 The next step is to cut the turnips into chunks. Step 4 Next, add water and a little salt to the pan and cook until they are soft and tender. Cooking Time The cooking time depends on the size of your chunks and the number of turnips you are cooking. Step 6 Next, rinse with warm water to remove any excess baking soda.
Step 7 Return the pan back to the stovetop and add butter I use salted butter and a little granulated sugar. Step 8 Finally, now is the time to mash them if you want them creamy like mashed potatoes or you can serve them just as they are.
Ready to Serve I really do think this is the best way to cook turnips and I love the fact that they are naturally gluten-free! Prep Time: 20 minutes. Cook Time: 30 minutes. Additional Time: 5 minutes. Add the turnip greens at the end to wilt them in the pan, along with pieces of bacon or ham for extra flavor. Mildly spicy when raw, turnips turn sweet, nutty, and earthy when cooked.
This goes for texture, too: raw turnips have a crisp, starchy flesh. Cooked turnips turn soft and velvety—a little like another cold-weather favorite, the parsnip. If you want to try a different cooking method, I tend to like turnip boiled and mashed. If the turnip is old and likely bitter you can add an apple. You would then need to rinse thoroughly. Bring to a boil and cook until the turnips are tender; about 10 minutes for cut pieces, about 35 minutes to cook whole.
Turnips are ready to harvest 40 to 55 days after planting. If harvesting the leaves, they are ready when they reach inches in height. If only harvesting the leaves, cut them from the plant when they reach the desired size, leaving 1 inch of leaves above the crown of the plant. Just scrub them under cold water, cut into chunks, toss with a little olive oil, season and roast at F until tender and slightly browned.
Turnips can also be mashed like potatoes, sliced to add to a salad, or diced for adding to stews or soups. The root itself is sweet and has almost a cabbage-like flavor, but its texture is similar to that of a starchy potato. Look for smaller turnips, as they tend to have better flavor; larger turnips can sometimes be a bit bitter. Get the best gardening tips straight into your inbox!
