Ingredients
Method
- Choose a nice bunch of babby turnips with leaves attached. Remove any yellowing or wilted leaves, wash well, and gently scrub the baby turnips.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a tablespoon of salt. Using a steamer basket, steam the baby turnips for 4 minutes.
- Remove the steamer basket over the sink and place in a colander. Add several cups of ice cubes to stop the turnips from cooking.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter, and add the honey. Add the turnips and cook for just a couple of minutes. Remove the baby turnips from the skillet and add the orange juice, the three types of zest, thyme, cayenne, salt, and pepper.. Cook for about 4-5 minutes to reduce the volume, and then add the baby turnips. Cook for a minute or two so that the sauce coats the baby turnips. Taste and correct seasoning.
- Plate and serve about 4-5 baby turnips per person, along with some of the delicious orange sauce.
