Mashed Turnip and Apple
Water to cover, enough to cover turnips and
apples, not salted
1 pound purple-topped turnips, trimmed, peeled
and chopped into equal-size pieces
2 apples, peeled and quartered
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon butter
1 talespoon cream
Salt & pepper to taste
Fresh grated nutmeg
Bring the water to boil while the prepping the
turnips. (To save a dish, pick a saucepan that
you can also do the mashing in.) Add the
turnips, cover and let simmer for 15 minutes.
[TURN THE OVEN ON TO 300F.] Add the
apples and cook for another 15 - 20 minutes,
until turnips are fully cooked (a knife should slip
in and out with no trouble). Drain and return to
hot pot. Mash til smooth (a little texture is good,
these mash very easily with a hand masher).
Add the wine, butter and cream. Season to
taste.
