Savory Tarte Tatin: Turnip Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4-5 medium sized turnips, peeled and sliced
• 5 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the sliced turnips. Cook for about 7-8 minutes until the turnips have softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute or two until fragrant.
3. Drizzle honey and balsamic vinegar onto the bottom of an oven-safe skillet, such as a cast iron skillet. Add the thyme and then arrange the cooked turnips in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper. Top the turnips with the puff pastry, tucking in the edges around the sides of the skillet. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
4. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Place a large plate on top of the skillet and carefully flip it over to release the tarte tatin onto the plate. Serve hot or warm.
