Combine turnips and snow peas over rice with the flavor of miso.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons white miso
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 bunch salad turnips (with greens)
- 1 cup water, plus more if necessary
- 1-1/2 tablespoons honey
- 1 pint snow peas (about 1/2 pound)
- 1-1/2 cups cooked brown rice for serving
- Pinch of sea salt for serving
Directions
- 1. Stir together the miso and 1-1/2 tablespoons of butter (reserve the rest).
- 2. Separate the greens from the turnips and roughly chop them. Slice larger turnips into quarters and smaller turnips in half.
- 3. Add the turnips to a large skillet with the water, honey, and remaining 1/2 tablespoon of butter.
- 4. Bring to a boil. Cover the pan and cook the turnips, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated and they've become tender (about 8 to 10 minutes).
- 5. Reduce the heat to low, stir in the turnip greens and snow peas, and continue to cook until the greens have wilted and the sauce has reduced to a glaze, about 3 minutes.
- 6. Stir in the miso butter and cook for about 1 minute longer or until the turnips are golden.
- 7. Serve with cooked brown rice and a pinch of sea salt.
