I am a self-taught cook. I started cooking around 18 years old. I stood in the kitchen and watched my mother, who was my biggest inspiration at the time, cook.

Great with a steak, a roast, or chops.

Yield: 6 servings, each with 10 grams of carbohydrates and 2 grams of fiber, for a total of 8 grams of usable carbs and 2 grams of protein.

INGREDIENTS 

  • 2 pounds turnips, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 8 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
  • 1 teaspoon salt or Vege-Sal
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

 

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Place the turnips and the garlic in a saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Add water to fill about halfway, cover, and place over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, turn down the burner, and simmer until quite soft (about 15 minutes). Drain the turnips and garlic very well.
  2. Using a potato masher, mash the turnips and garlic together. Stir in the butter, horseradish, salt, pepper, and nutmeg, and mix well. Just before serving, stir in the chives.
