Braised Turnips with Chives and Parsley

(recipe from The Vegan Gourmet by Susann Geiskopf-Hadler & Mindy Toomay)

1 lb. turnips
1 1/2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/4 tsp. salt
Several grinds black pepper
1/3 cup vegetable stock or dry white wine
3 Tbsp. minced fresh chives
3 Tbsp. minced fresh parsley

Peel the turnips and chop them into roughly 1/2-inch cubes.  Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and add the turnips.  Saute about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are browning nicely.  Stir in the salt and pepper, then add the stock and immediately cover the pan tightly.  Reduce heat to medium-low and cook 10 minutes.

Remove the lid and continue to stir and saute until all of the liquid has evaporated and the turnips are tender, about 3-5 minutes.  Stir in the chives and parsley, and transfer to a serving dish.  Serve hot or warm.
