Description
Keto Turnip Purée with Tarragon Cream is a creamy and flavorful side dish that is perfect for those following a keto diet.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium turnips (about 1 pound), peeled and chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried tarragon)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the chopped turnips and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain well.
- In the same pot, return the drained turnips and add olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Use a potato masher or immersion blender to purée the turnips until smooth and creamy.
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat until warm. Stir in the chopped tarragon and butter until the butter is melted and the mixture is well combined.
- Pour the tarragon cream over the puréed turnips and gently mix until fully incorporated. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve warm as a side dish.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or sauté minced garlic in the olive oil before adding the turnips.
- To make it dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use olive oil instead of butter.
