Add the cubed turnip (16 oz / 450g) to a pot, cover with slightly salted water, and boil for exactly 5 minutes before draining well.

Heat 2 tbsp. (1 oz / 30 ml) almond oil in a deep skillet over medium heat, then saute the minced garlic cloves (0. 2 oz / 6g) until beautifully fragrant.

Whisk together 6 tbsp. (3 oz / 90 ml) coconut aminos and 3 tbsp. (1. 5 oz / 42g) swerve brown sugar in a small bowl until completely combined.

Toss the drained turnips into the hot skillet, coat them in the hot oil, and immediately pour the coconut aminos mixture over the top, sauteing for 1 minute.

Pour 0. 5 cups (4 oz / 120 ml) vegetable broth into the skillet, stir everything thoroughly, and allow the mixture to cook and reduce for 20 minutes until the turnips are fork-tender.

Top the hot turnips evenly with 1 cup (4 oz / 113g) grated Gruyere cheese, let it melt slightly, and garnish with 2 tbsp. (0. 5 oz / 15g) chopped peanuts before serving warm.

Cut for consistency: Dice your turnips into uniform 0. 75-inch (2 cm) cubes so they parboil and braise evenly without turning mushy.

Do not skip parboiling: Blanching the turnips in salted water for 5 minutes removes their natural sulfurous bitterness and primes them to absorb the savory braising liquid.

Simmer uncovered for a glossy reduction: Keep the skillet uncovered during the final 5 to 7 minutes of simmering to allow the vegetable broth and coconut aminos to thicken into a sticky glaze.

Grate your own cheese: Use freshly grated Gruyere from a block rather than pre-shredded bagged cheese, which contains anti-caking starches that hinder a smooth, velvety melt.

Before braising, give the turnips a quick five-minute parboil in salted water.

Then proceed with braising to finish Korean Braised Turnips to tender, flavorful results.
