Turnips Rutabaga Simmered In Date Syrup Maye Al Shalgham
We enjoy this delicious iraqi recipe. It gives turnips/rutabaga/swedes a delicately sweet taste and a lovely hue. Modified from, delights from the garden of eden by nawal nasrallah. Note: if using the small real white and purple type of turnip do not leave to soak in the water date syrup mixture after cooking as they may become waterlogged.
Steps
Peel turnips and cut into thick wedges and then slice into each wedge sideways but not all the way through.
This will be to let the date syrup soak in better.
Put them all in a medium pot , add date syrup and cover slightly with cold water.
Bring to a boil , lower heat and simmer for about 30-45 minutes depending on turnips age.
Serve warm , sprinkled with a dash of sea salt if wished.
If not eating right away.
Enjoy !.
