  • About

Cook’s Tip: Yellow, swede turnips are much hardier than the cultivated white turnip, and are at their best from August through to April. Late winter turnips will have much less water and more flavour. The outer layer of the smaller ones is less woody. They also have a milder flavour.

Ingredients

  • 500 g (1 lb 2 oz) swede turnip, peeled and sliced roughly
  • Sea salt

Method

Serve With: meat, poultry or game or on its own with bannocks and cheese.

Making the Clapshot

Put the turnip into a pot of boiling water, add salt and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add the washed potatoes and bring back to the boil. Simmer until the potatoes are just cooked, checking frequently as floury potatoes burst and ‘go to soup’ very quickly.
