Sweet Winter Roots

 

Recipe By :Susan Jane Cheney

Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Vibrant Vegetables

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon light sesame oil

1 medium onion -- sliced lengthwise into crescents

1 1/2 cups 2-inch-long turnip strips

1 1/2 cups rutabaga -- cut to match turnip

3/4 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger

3/4 cup apple cider or unsweetened apple juice

freshly ground black pepper to taste

salt to taste

 

Set a wok over medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl it to coat the inside of

the pan. Add the onion and stir-fry for 3 to 4

minutes, until it softens and appears translucent. Gradually add the turnip and

rutabaga and continue to stir-fry for 3 to 4

minutes.

 

Stir in the ginger and cider. Bring the liquid to a simmer. Reduce the heat,

cover the wok, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10

to 15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the liquid has almost cooked

away. Add black pepper and salt to taste.

 

Variation: Season the vegetables with a bit of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, or

other sweet spices instead of—or in addition to—the

fresh ginger.

NOTES : Simmering in sweet cider gives these pungent vegetables a luscious,

mellow flavor and tender, somewhat glazed texture. Cook

carrots and parsnips this way too-separately, together, or combined with turnips

and/or rutabagas.
