Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 300 grams turnips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by washing and trimming the ends of the green beans, then cut them into 2-inch pieces.
Peel the turnips and cut them into small cubes, about the size of diced potatoes.
In a large pot of boiling salted water, blanch the green beans for about 3 minutes until they are bright green and just tender. Immediately drain and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the turnip pieces.
Saute the turnips for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and become golden brown.
Meanwhile, mince the garlic cloves.
Add the garlic, onion powder, dried thyme, and dried rosemary to the skillet. Stir well to coat the turnips evenly with herbs and spices.
Continue to cook for another 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
Drain the green beans from the ice water and add them to the skillet with the turnips.
Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, then toss everything together to heat through, for about 2-3 more minutes.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Serve the savory green beans and potatoes warm as a flavorful side dish.
