Ingredients:

  • 1 lb small turnip (by small i mean not the huge rutabagas, they are also called swedes in some european countries)
  • sea salt , to taste

Directions:

  1. Peel turnips and cut into thick wedges and then slice into each wedge sideways but not all the way through. (I say sideways yet you may not understand what I mean by that but I don't know the word for it!? Not vertical, not horizontal) This will be to let the date syrup soak in better.
  2. Put them all in a medium pot, add date syrup and cover slightly with cold water.
  3. Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer for about 30-45 minutes depending on turnips age.
  4. Serve warm, sprinkled with a dash of sea salt if wished.
  5. If not eating right away see note in introduction.
  6. Enjoy!
