Fillet of Pork with Turnips

• 1 fillet of pork
• 6 tablespoons water
• salt and freshly ground black pepper

Have butcher trim and tie a fillet of pork. Put it in a casserole with water, and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook uncovered in a moderately hot oven (400°-M5) for 30 minutes, or until meat is nicely browned.

Blanch turnips in boiling water for 10 minutes; drain. Sauté turnips in a large thick-bottomed casserole with butter and a little fat from the roast.
