🧂 Ingredients

1 Trim the turnip tops, removing the larger stalks and ribs; if using sprouting
broccoli, cut the larger pieces in half. Wash well. Peel the onion, cut
lengthwise in half and slice thinly.
2 Place the turnip tops or broccoli in a large, heavy-bottomed fireproof casserole
dish, add the onion, stock, a pinch of salt of 3-4 black or white peppercorns.
Bring to the boil, cover and simmer gently for 15 minutes (10 minutes for
broccoli).
3 Sprinkle the olive oil all over the turnip tops, turn up the heat and cook
uncovered for up to 10 minutes (broccoli will need only about 5 minutes), or
until the turnip tops are done but still have a little bite left to them.
4 Serve with the reduced cooking liquid as a sauce, and eat with slices of
semi-hard cheese and wholemeal bread.
