Homemade turnip stew german cuisine

To recreate the classic German rutabaga stew, start by peeling and dicing the rutabaga, carrots and potatoes. This mixture of vegetables gives a harmonious balance between sweetness and starch, which gives the stew a pleasant depth.

Cut the onion and bacon into small pieces. Fry the bacon until crispy, then remove from the pot and set aside.

In the same pot where the bacon was sautéed, heat the oil and sauté the onions until translucent. This gives the stew an extra flavor of aroma and depth.

Now add the diced vegetables and fry them lightly before adding the broth. Cook for about 25-30 minutes until the vegetables are soft.

Season the stew with salt and pepper. Then add the previously fried bacon and cook for another 5 minutes.

Before serving the rutabaga stew, garnish it with freshly chopped parsley. The fresh greens enhance the rustic nature of this stew and make the dish more visually appealing.
