Sweet and sour Braised Turnips can be served as a side dish with some meat or main dish.
I do not know. Does it is international that children just do not like some food? Like blue cheese and olives? ( or children who grow up in the Mediterranean are fond of olives??)
When I was a child I hated braised and boiled carrots and turnips. And, blue cheese and olives, of course
Now I am grown up and I can say that there is nothing better than braised turnips.
Sweet of turnips are balanced with cranberry acid. And this is the perfect side dish. This time I served it with grilled cheese.
