Ingredients
- 500 g Turnips
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 150 g Gruyère cheese (shredded)
- 2 tbsp Heavy cream
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel and thinly slice the turnips into rounds or semi-circles, approximately 3-4mm thick. Use a mandoline slicer for consistent slices if available.
Step 2
Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Allow them to melt and combine.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 4
Add the sliced turnips to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the butter and oil mixture. Spread them out in an even layer.
Step 5
Cook the turnips on medium heat for about 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and lightly golden on the edges.
Step 6
Season the turnips with salt and black pepper, then drizzle the heavy cream over them. Stir well to combine.
Step 7
Sprinkle the shredded Gruyère cheese evenly over the turnips, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the cheese to melt completely, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the truffade with fresh chopped parsley.
Step 9
Serve immediately while hot and cheesy. This dish pairs well with a fresh green salad or a side of steamed vegetables.
