Braised Turnips with Lemon

Yield: serves 4 as a side dish

4-8 turnips or a mix of both, each cut cone #3

1/2 cup of diced sweet onion

about 3/4 cup of filtered water

juice of one lemon and zest

2 T. Lemon avocado oil

1/2 to 1 tbsp of maple syrup, as to your liking
fresh herbs

salt & pepper, optional-chili flakes for a bit of spice! Fresh chopped mint
Place chopped turnips and chop onion cone #2 in a medium sized skillet over medium high heat.  Add water and allow to braise  medium click low. Now squeeze in the lemon juice,  zest, avo oil add the 1/2 tbsp of maple syrup, season with salt and pepper. Now taste and adjust sweetness to balance the flavours if need be. It should be tart but a little sweet at the same time. Sprinkle with chili flakes if you wish!  Serve alongside a salad or other main dish. Enjoy! Serve with mint chopped.
