Cook Time 35 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 cup + 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup + 1.5 tbsp unfiltered apple juice
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1.5 lbs turnips
  • 6 strips of pancetta
  • Salt & pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven at 400°F.
  • Peel and slice the turnips.
  • Pour the cream and apple juice in a large saucepan, bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer for about 2 minutes. Add salt, pepper and the mustard.
  • Put the turnip slices in the juice-cream mixture (stirring to coat all pieces, if needed) and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Cut the pancetta in small pieces, and sauté in a non-stick frying pan for a few seconds.

Notes

Age for babies: 8-10 months, the turnip can be given as finger food, cut up in small pieces (though I wouldn't give baby any pancetta)
