Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds fresh turnips peeled and cubed (about 4-5 medium turnips)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 vegetable bouillon cube
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste

Method
 

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil and dissolve the vegetable bouillon cube, stirring for about 1 minute until completely dissolved.
  2. Add the cubed turnips, chopped onion, and minced garlic to the broth. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook for about 10 minutes until the turnips are fork-tender.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 10-15 minutes, allowing most of the liquid to evaporate while stirring occasionally.
  4. Once most of the liquid has evaporated and the turnips are very tender, remove from heat.
  5. Stir in the sour cream and half of the shredded cheese until well combined.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and top with the remaining cheese.
  7. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and freshly ground black pepper before serving.
