Ingredients
- 1 lb small turnip (by small I mean not the huge rutabagas, they are also called swedes in some European countries)
- 4 tablespoons date molasses, I like to add more to taste (also called date syrup or dibis tamar in Arabic, found in Middle Eastern stores)
- sea salt, to taste
- water, to cover
Method
- Peel turnips and cut into thick wedges and then slice into each wedge sideways but not all the way through.
- (I say sideways yet you may not understand what I mean by that but I don't know the word for it!?
- Not vertical, not horizontal) This will be to let the date syrup soak in better.
- Put them all in a medium pot, add date syrup and cover slightly with cold water.
- Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer for about 30-45 minutes depending on turnips age.
- Serve warm, sprinkled with a dash of sea salt if wished.
- If not eating right away see note in introduction.
- Enjoy!
