Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Turnips
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 medium, chopped Onion
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup, shredded Cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Chives
Instructions
Peel and cube the turnips into 1-inch pieces.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the cubed turnips to the skillet and stir well to coat them with the oil, garlic, and onion.
Add butter to the skillet and let it melt, mixing it into the turnips.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the turnips are tender.
Once the turnips are tender, remove the lid and stir in the sour cream.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper, and stir until the cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper to taste, if necessary.
Stir in the chopped chives, saving a few to garnish the top.
Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with additional chives.
