Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Peel and cut turnips into half-inch wedges. Slice the onion thinly and finely mince the garlic.

  2. 2

    In a large heavy-bottomed skillet, heat 3 tbsp of olive oil over medium-low heat until shimmering.

  3. 3

    Add sliced onions and a pinch of salt, cooking gently for 3–4 minutes until softened but not browned.

  4. 4

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes, keeping heat low to avoid burning.

  5. 5

    Add the turnip wedges, toss to coat in oil, and season with remaining salt and pepper. Cover and simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to prevent sticking.

  6. 6

    When turnips are tender and creamy, remove lid and cook off extra moisture for 2–3 minutes on medium heat.

  7. 7

    Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, toss gently, and serve hot or at room temperature.
