Turnips
Braised Hakauri Turnips with Lemon and Herbes de Provence
From The World in My Kitchen
1 bunch Hakauri turnips (about 1 lb)
Juice from one lemon
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves of garlic, smashed lightly with your knife and peeled
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp herbes de provence
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Wash the turnips and trim their greens. (Save the greens--you can use the them for something else.) Place the turnips in a baking dish and combine with the remaining ingredients. Mix until the turnips are evenly coated. There should be about a 1/2 inch of oil/lemon juice combo.
Cover the dish and cook in the oven for about 40 minutes or until the turnips are fork tender.
