Navets Glacés

Navets Glacés is a classic French side dish featuring tender, glazed turnips cooked to perfection. This Paleo-friendly version showcases the natural sweetness of turnips, enhanced by a simple cooking method that preserves their flavor and texture.

Ingredients

• Turnips - 400 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Bone broth - 200 milliliters
• Fresh thyme - 1 teaspoon
• Sea salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Honey - 1 teaspoon (optional for sweetness)

Steps

1. Peel the turnips and cut them into uniform pieces, about 2 cm in size.
2. In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the turnip pieces.
3. Sauté the turnips for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown.
4. Pour in the bone broth, add thyme, sea salt, and black pepper, and bring to a simmer.
5. Cover the saucepan and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the turnips are tender and the liquid has reduced to a glaze.
6. If desired, stir in the honey for added sweetness and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
7. Remove from heat and serve warm, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh thyme if desired.
