Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 5 medium turnips
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 minced green garlic or green onions
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/8 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 cup mustard greens
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup chopped raw macadamia nuts

Method
 

  1. Trim, peel, and quarter the turnips, and then chop the turnip greens.
  2. Heat the avocado oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the turnips and garlic, and cook for 5 minutes or until the turnips are golden on each side.
  3. Add the broth, lemon juice, salt, and pepper, and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce the heat to a simmer. Allow to simmer until the turnips are slightly tender, about 5 to 10 minutes.
  4. Increase the temperature to medium-high heat, add the greens, and cook for another minute or two. Serve warm drizzled with maple syrup and topped with nuts.
