Turnip Puree

Ingredients

• 1 medium turnip (about 200g)
• 3–4 tablespoons reserved steaming water

Method

1. 01

   Wash and peel the turnip, removing the outer skin and any tough spots.

2. 02

   Cut the turnip into small, even cubes of about 1 inch to ensure even cooking.

3. 03

   Place in a steamer basket over boiling water. Steam for 12–15 minutes until fork-tender.

4. 04

   Transfer the steamed turnip to a blender with 3–4 tablespoons of the steaming liquid.

5. 05

   Blend until silky smooth. Taste for texture — blend longer or add more water if needed. Serve at an appropriate temperature.

How to offer

Mix with sweeter vegetables like carrot or parsnip to offset the mild bitterness. Serve on a preloaded spoon.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freeze in ice cube trays for up to 2 months.
