Ingredients

Metric US

1000 g sour turnip
1 medium onion
2 cloves chopped garlic
1 pinch thyme and rosemary
1 piece bay leaf
1 can cooked beans
2 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp garlic powder
3 tbsp nutritional yeast
200 ml plant-based cream (for cooking)
to taste salt and pepper
2 tbsp starch (if you want a thicker consistency)

Directions

Fry the chopped onion and garlic in water or oil. Add the thyme and rosemary and the bay leaves.
When the onions are golden and the garlic is fragrant, add the sour turnip. If the turnip is too salty, rinse it under water beforehand.
Add just enough water to the pot with the turnips to cover them and cook until the turnips are tender.
When the turnips are cooked, add the cooked beans.
If the consistency is too thin, add the starch which has been mixed with a little water.
Add the remaining spices and the cream to the turnip. Mix well and remove from the heat.
For a fuller flavor, sprinkle a pinch of fried onion over the turnips.
The sour turnip with cream goes perfectly with boiled potatoes and roasted vegan sausages. You can swap potatoes for rye bread.
