Turnips

Turnips are one of the vegetables that I hardly ate before living in France. It's a shame not to eat turnips at least occasionally. They're good vegetables and quite satisfying.

One way I make prepare them is like this:

6 medium turnips
1 tbsp. cooking oil
1 tsp. lemon juice
Fleur de sel (or ground rock salt)
Fresh pepper

Peel the turnips and dice them. The pieces should be small, not too thick. Heat the oil in a big, non-stick pan. Add the turnips and fry them gently until they start to carmelize, and have lost most of their volume. The pieces should be tender.

Deglaze with lemon juice. Pour into a serving dish, and add salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
