  • 500g turnips, peeled and grated

  • 1tsp organic coriander powder
  • Pinch organic cayenne pepper

Turnips are a very underrated but tasty vegetable (if cooked right). In the Steenberg household there’s also an added complication about the continued debate about swedes and turnips.

Method

01
Fry the onion in oil in a saucepan. When the onion is soft, add the turnips and tomatoes. 
02
Season with salt, organic black pepper and organic spices, half cover with water and simmer, uncovered until the turnips are cooked but still crisp. 
03
Turn the turnips over once so that they cook evenly. 
04
Wash spinach, cut off stems and cut leaves into ribbons. Put them into the saucepan and cook, stirring, until they crumble.
05
 Serve hot and garnished with parsley.
