Caramelized Turnips with Capers, Lemon and Parsley

Caramelized Turnips with Capers, Lemon and Parsley

Serves 4

  • 3 lb turnips, washed
  • 3 tbls extra virgin olive oil
  • salt
  • 2 small garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 tbls capers, rinsed and chopped
  • zest of 1/2 lemon
  • 3 tbls parsley, chopped
  • juice of 1/2 lemon

Halve the turnips lengthwise and slice into half-moons 1/4" thick. Heat olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, if needed, add turnips so they are in a single layer in the pan with no overlapping. Saute, turning often until nicely browned and cooked through, about 8-9 minutes. 

Season with salt, then transfer to a serving dish. Mix garlic, capers, lemon zest and parsley; sprinkle over turnips and drizzle with lemon juice.
