Directions

60 min.
1. Step

To prepare the turnip stew, start by peeling the turnips, potatoes and carrots and cutting them into bite-sized pieces. The vegetables should be cut into equal pieces so that they cook evenly.

2. Step

Peel and finely dice the onion and garlic, then sauté with the olive oil in a large pan. A little tip: if you fry the onions and garlic first before adding the rest of the vegetables, the final dish will be more flavorful.

3. Step

Add the chopped vegetables and fry for about 5-7 minutes with the onions and garlic. At this stage, the longer you fry the vegetables over a low heat, the more intense the flavor will be.

4. Step

Then pour the vegetable stock into the pan and simmer the vegetables until they are soft. This should take about 15-20 minutes.

5. Step

Season the stew with salt, pepper, marjoram and thyme. If you are using fresh herbs, only add them at the end so that they do not lose their aroma.

6. Step

Continue to simmer the stew until the liquid has reduced and the vegetables are cooked to your liking. Make sure you stir regularly to prevent the stew from burning.

7. Step

This delicious and hearty wruken stew is perfect for cold winter evenings. Enjoy it with fresh bread for a complete and satisfying meal.
