About the dish

Neper var en rimelig og næringsrik rotvekst som fylte kjøkkenhagen før poteten helt tok over. Boken bemerker at neper og gulrøtter gjerne kan stues sammen – en fleksibilitet som passet en sparsommelig husholdning.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Boil the turnips

    Peel and wash the turnips and place them in boiling, salted water. Boil them tender and then cut them neatly into pieces.

  2. 2

    Make the sauce

    Melt the butter, stir in the flour and thin with a little of the turnip water and the milk or cream. Bring it to a boil.

  3. 3

    Add the turnips and the finely chopped parsley to the sauce and heat through.
