Turnip And Potato Puree Recipes

MUSTARDY MASHED TURNIPS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the turnips and potatoes in a medium saucepot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until the vegetables are tender and meet no resistance when pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes.
• Drain well. Whip in a large bowl using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until well blended. Add the sour cream, mustard and butter and continue to whip on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the parsley and top with a pat of butter.

PARSNIP, POTATO, AND TURNIP PUREE

Add broth; bring to boil. Cover; reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
• Using slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to large bowl. Pour cooking broth into small bowl; reserve. Add cream cheese to vegetables. Using electric mixer, beat vegetables to smooth puree. Add 2 tablespoons butter-oil mixture from top of broth to vegetables. Stir in 2 tablespoons dill. Season with salt and pepper.

NANA'S MASHED TURNIP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place turnip and potatoes in a large pot with enough water to cover, and bring to a boil. Cook 25 to 30 minutes, until tender. Remove from heat, and drain.
• Mix milk, 2 tablespoons butter, and sugar with the turnip and potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Mash until slightly lumpy.
• Transfer turnip mixture to a small baking dish. Dot with remaining butter. Cover loosely, and bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove cover, and continue baking about 8 minutes, until lightly browned.

BUTTERED TURNIP PUREE

Steps:

• Combine the turnips, milk, thyme and garlic in a medium saucepan. Set over medium heat and partially cover the pan. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 20 to 30 minutes, until the turnips are tender-the tip of a paring knife should go through without resistance.
• Drain the turnips, reserving the cooking liquid, and transfer to a food processor (discard the thyme sprigs). Add about 1 cup of the reserved cooking liquid and the butter, season with plenty of salt and pepper and puree until smooth. Add more of the liquid, if necessary. Serve hot.

TURNIP-AND-POTATO PUREE

Steps:

• In a medium pot over high heat, combine the turnips, potatoes and enough cold water to just cover and bring to a boil. Boil until the turnips and potatoes are very soft, about 30 minutes. Drain the water, leaving the turnips and potatoes in the pot; mash with a potato masher until smooth. (The mixture will be very wet.) Lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches the consistency of mashed potatoes, about 40 minutes. Pass the mixture through a sieve into a bowl and stir in the butter. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

PARSNIP POTATO PUREE

Steps:

• Put the parsnips and potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with about 2 inches of water. Season the water generously with salt - TASTE IT to make sure the water is seasoned appropriately.
• Bring the water to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook the parsnips and potatoes until they are fork tender, about 30 minutes.
• In a small saucepan, bring the heavy cream to a boil. Turn off the heat and reserve.
• Drain the parsnips and potatoes and pass through a food mill.
• Toss in a couple of pats of cold butter and about 1/2 of the hot heavy cream. Stir vigorously to combine. Repeat the process with the remaining butter and heavy cream. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

BUTTERED TURNIP PUREE

Steps:

• Add turnips, milk, thyme and garlic to a medium-sized sauce pot. Set over medium heat and place the lid over the pot so it is just covering. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 20 to 30 minutes until tender - the tip of a paring knife should go through without resistance.
• Remove the thyme and remove 2 cups of the liquid. Drain and place turnips back into the same pan and blend using an immersion blender or place to a food processor. Add butter and about 1 cup of the milk cooking liquid and blend. Season with salt and pepper and puree until smooth. Add more of the milk if necessary.

TURNIP AND POTATO PUREE

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes and the turnips in separate saucepans until they are tender. Drain and puree with a potato masher or a food mill. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Place the butter in one of the saucepans and melt over low heat. Add the turnip-potato puree. Mix the butter in and correct the seasoning.

MASHED POTATOES AND TURNIPS WITH ROASTED PEAR PURéE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine honey, lemon juice, and melted butter in large bowl. Add pears; toss to coat. Arrange pears in single layer on large rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast pears 30 minutes. Turn pears to coat with juices and roast until very tender, about 35 minutes longer. Transfer pears and caramelized liquids to food processor; blend until smooth. (Pear puree can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Cook potatoes and turnips in separate large pots of generously salted water until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain well. Transfer turnips to processor; puree until smooth. Mash potatoes with room-temperature butter in large bowl until smooth. Stir in pureed turnips. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm in microwave before continuing.)
• Rewarm pear puree. Place potato-turnip mixture in large serving bowl. Swirl in pear puree and serve.
