Turnips or Navews Slice and boil the turnips until done. At this point you can dry and mash them or leave them in sticks or slices. Add the cumin and rue to taste. Add enough vinegar to give it a bit of sharpness, thin with some heavy sweet wine cut with the stock of your choice. Put on the heat to heat through and reduce the liquids. Add a bit of oil only if you think it is needed.
