    Braised Turnips with Parsley

    Posted: Aug 16, 2008 · Updated: Oct 19, 2020 by Jenny McGruther · This site earns income from ads, affiliate links, and sponsorships.

    The humble turnip.   It's a much loathed vegetable.   Yet, like other underdogs of the vegetable world, it is deeply rich in nutrients.   Turnips are an especially good source of Vitamin C, manganese, copper and phosphorus and also contain good amounts of B vitamins.

    An added benefit of turnips is that they are relatively inexpensive by comparison to the better loved vegetables like sugar snap peas and haricots vertes.   For example, this dish which incorporates the simplest of ingredients (turnips, ghee, bone broth and parsley) costs approximately $0.77 per serving.
