Armored Turnips

Posted on 03/18/202203/24/2022 by Murienne

A 14th Century Italian roasted turnip recipe.

LXV Armored turnips. To make armored turnips, put the turnips to cook in the fire (embers) and when they are cooked peel them and cut into thin slices.  Take sweet cheese and make thin slices.  Between each slice of turnip put one (slice) of cheese and let them melt well together.  If you want you can put them with a hot lid above and they will be done, then powder them with sugar and spices.

My Redaction

I boiled and then peeled and sliced turnips. I then layered the slices of turnip and slices of soft farmers cheese. I dusted the dish with a mix of ginger, sugar, grains of paradise and salt. Then placed it in the oven long enough to melt the cheese.
