I had a bunch of turnips sitting in the fridge after the last foodie,where we made a turnip puree (recipe here). What to do with the rest?
Steak was on the menu, so I needed something
creamy and hearty. I thought a turnip gratin would be a low
maintenance dish to make.
Slicing the turnips thinly was the only real chore here.
The
opportunity to add your own creative touch is to infuse a flavor or
two into your milk, which will ultimately work with the turnips as
the dish bakes. I chose smoked paprika (thanks mom), rosemary and
nutmeg, with just a touch
of mustard.
After baking, I covered the turnips with panko (Japanese breadcrumbs) for a light and toasty crunch.
1 1/2 pounds turnips, peeled and cut into thin rounds
kosher salt, ground black pepper
4 ounces of a melting, flavorful cheese, finely grated. Fontina, gruyere or cheddar are good choices.
1 1/2 cups whole milk
pinch of smoked paprika
pinch ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon mustard
teaspoon chopped rosemary
panko breadcrumbs
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart gratin dish. layer half the turnips. Season well with salt and black pepper, then layer half the cheese. Repeat with the remaining turnips and the remaining cheese, seasoning well after each layer of turnips.
Add the milk to a pan and bring to low heat. Add the mustard, nutmeg, paprika, rosemary and just heat through, whisking to mix in the ingredients.
Add milk just to cover the turnips. Place the dish in the oven and bake until the turnips are soft and have absorbed most of the milk, about 1 hour. Take out of oven and sprinkle with panko bread crumbs and broil for a minute until a crunchy brown.




Hiya! This recipe sounds wonderful, I definitely think I'll try it. Just wondering what sort of mustard you used though. Thanks!

So here you have it, a frozen yogurt like recipe using So Delicious Coconut Milk Kefir.
Because coconut milk kefir is so low in fat, I combined it with full fat coconut milk to prevent it from turning out like ice milk and freezing up to an icy block when placed in the freezer. Make sure the coconut milk you buy contains at least 10 grams of fat per 2 ounces, which is per 1/4 cup). You can use Thai Kitchen, Whole Foods Brand, or something from an Asian market.
