Ingredients

  • 8 pieces Turnip

  • 1 teaspoon Salt, table

  • 150 ml Sour cream

  • 230 g Cheese, Gouda

  • 60 g Breadcrumbs, dried

  • 50 g Butter, unsalted

  • 0.25 teaspoons Spices, pepper, white

  • 1 teaspoon Spices, paprika

Steps

  1. Cut off the leaves from the turnip. Save the nice leaves, wash them, and chop them. Peel the turnip thinly with a peeler and wash it.

  2. In a pot on the stove, bring 2 liters of salted water to a boil. Add the turnip and cook it covered over moderate heat for 40 minutes.

  3. Grease a deeper baking dish. Preheat the oven to 180 °C. In a bowl, crumble the cheese and mix it with cream, breadcrumbs, pepper, and chopped turnip leaves.

  4. Drain the cooked turnip, let it cool slightly, and with a sharp knife, cut out 2/3 of the center. Finely chop half of the removed center and mix it with the cheese and cream.

  5. Place the hollowed turnips in the baking dish and fill them with the stuffing using a spoon. Fill them so that some stuffing is visible on top. Place a small piece of butter on top of the stuffing and sprinkle with ground paprika.

  6. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake the turnips for 10 to 12 minutes. Arrange the baked turnips on plates and serve.
