Ingredients

  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 carrots, peeled and cut in 1-inch chunks
  • 4 medium-size white turnips, peeled and cut in eighths
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method

  • Place chicken stock in a saucepan, add vanilla, bring to a simmer, and remove from heat.
  • Set aside.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a saucepan that will hold vegetables in a single layer.
  • Add carrots and turnips, and dust with sugar.
  • Saute, stirring, over medium-high heat until they barely begin to brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add stock and vanilla bean, reduce heat to medium low, cover, and cook about 20 minutes, until most of the stock has evaporated and vegetables are very tender.
  • Uncover, add remaining butter, fold gently once or twice, season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve.
