Lord Commander's Buttered Turnips | Game of Thrones Inspired Recipes
Whether you are supping at the Wall or at Winterfell, you can almost be assured that buttered turnips will be on the menu.
Ingredients
- 6 turnips
- 5 shallots
- 8 tablespoons butter melted
- 6 tablespoons butter sliced
- 2 tablespoons tarragon
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 2 teaspoon fresh dill + more for topping
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cracked pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash the turnips of any dirt. Remove the tips flat, but do not skin the entire turnip. Place the turnip in the bottom of a wooden spoon, cut side down, and use a sharp knife to cut diagonal slices into the turnip to create triagle pieces. Do not cut all the way through the turnip - they should still be connected on the bottom (the spoon will help to not cut all the way through).
- Remove the paperly skin and tips from the shallots. Use the above method to slice the shallots - their bottoms should still be connected.
- Preheat the oven to 375 F. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, tarragon, garlic, capers dill, sugar and olive oil. Set aside.
- Arrange the shallots and turnips in the bottom of a heavy oven safe pot. Pour the butter sauce over the turnips, making sure to get it in the crevices of the turnips and shallots.
- Dot the tops of each turnip with a pat of butter. Sprinkle the smoked paprika across the tops of the turnips and shallots. Drizzle with olive oil. Season with cracked black pepper.
- Bake for an hour and a half to two hours - until the turnips are tender and golden on top. They should pierce easily with a fork. Enjoy with honeyed chicken at the Wall.
