TURNIP MASH & SAUTÉED ONIONS

You find really large turnips here in the Middle East. They are plentiful and cheap. They are a nice alternative to mashed potatoes.

2 large turnips, cut up into chunks
1 medium red onion, cut into chunks
a couple of green onions, cut into chunks
1 tablespoon of Ghee (or use butter or oil)
1 tablespoon Ghee (or use butter or oil)
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons heavy cream

In a cooking pot, add the cut up turnips and bring to a boil; cook over low boil until turnips are tender.

Meanwhile, put the onions in a frying pan; add Ghee and sauté until translucent, taking care they do not burn. Browning the onions will add a nice flavor. Add the green ends of the onions and cook for a few minutes.

When the turnips are tender, drain and add ghee, salt and pepper and mash well. Add the cream.

Turn the onions into the turnips and reserve some to decorate the top. Serve as a side dish.
