Braised turnips with currant, tempranillo, gomasio and Mustard Cress

Ingredients

(For 4 portions)

  • 2 bones of small spring turnips
  • 1 small bowl of currants

  • cup of Mustard Cress
  • Gomasio mix - Verstegen

Method

Turnips:

  • Cut off the greenery from each turnip to about 3 cm above the turnip.
  • Next, peel 10 turnips and cut in half so that each piece also has some green.
  • Take a stew, add a dash of olive oil and place the turnips next to each other.
  • Moisten with some water and season with sea salt. Stew under a lid until water has completely evaporated.
  • Now season with some gomasio and then fry lightly on both sides until they brown nicely.

Sauce:

  • Take 4 more turnips and peel them.
  • Cut into pieces. Take a stew with a dash of olive oil, half of the redcurrants and moisten with red wine until submerged. Season with some sea salt and black pepper. Cook gently under the lid.
  • At cooking time, mix everything with a blender to a smooth sauce. (possibly add extra wine)

To finish off:

  • Place the hot sauce in the center of each plate, divide 5 half turnips each time and finish with a few drops of olive oil, some redcurrants and the cress.
