Glazed Turnips with Coriander
By Catherine Lee, 05 October 2011 –
675g Turnip
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
30g butter
1 teaspoon coriander seeds, crushed
1 tablespoon clear honey
150ml spicy vegetable stock
2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander
Wash the turnip and cut into chunks. Blanch in boiling salted water for about 3 minutes, then drain and leave to stand for about 30 minutes to allow it to dry. Melt the butter in a saute pan large enough to hold the turnip in a single layer. Add the coriander seeds, turnip and honey. Give the pan a good shake to coat the turnip in the butter and honey. Cook over a low heat until the turnip begins to caramelize. Pour in the stock and stir to dissolve the caramel. Season with salt & pepper and simmer gently until the turnip is tender and the liquid has reduced to a syrupy glaze. Adjust the seasoning to taste and sprinkle with the coriander. Serve warm.
