Turnip and Carrot Dish

*Turnip and Carrot Dish*
Serves 6

You can also use swede (rutabaga) in this dish, but it will take slightly longer to cook.  This is a delicious side dish, filled with flavour and fibre.

1 kg of white turnips (about 2 pounds), peeled and diced
2 stalks celery, washed, trimmed and sliced
3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into coins
1 large clove of garlic, peeled and crushed
1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
225ml chicken stock (1 cup)
50g of chopped fresh parsley (1/4 cup)
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Put all of the vegetables into a saucepan along with the stock.  Bring to the boil, then reduce to a slow simmer.  Cover and cook for approximately 20 minutes until all are fork tender.   Uncover and turn the heat up.  Cook, until the liquid has reduced to a glaze.  Season to taste with salt and pepper, sprinkle with parsley and serve.  Delicious!
