Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Turnips
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 150 g Gruyère cheese (shredded)
- 2 tbsp Heavy cream
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the turnips into rounds or semi-circles, approximately 3-4mm thick. Use a mandoline slicer for consistent slices if available.
Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Allow them to melt and combine.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the sliced turnips to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the butter and oil mixture. Spread them out in an even layer.
Cook the turnips on medium heat for about 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and lightly golden on the edges.
Season the turnips with salt and black pepper, then drizzle the heavy cream over them. Stir well to combine.
Sprinkle the shredded Gruyère cheese evenly over the turnips, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the cheese to melt completely, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the truffade with fresh chopped parsley.
Serve immediately while hot and cheesy. This dish pairs well with a fresh green salad or a side of steamed vegetables.
