Pork and turnips are a very popular combination in Cajun culture. In fact, turnips work very well with beef, wild game and chicken. It is so low-carb friendly, you could have it every day.
Ingredients
- 3 lbs lean pork short ribs
 - 6 cups peeled and sliced turnips
 - 1/2 large onion, chopped
 - 1/2 - 1 cup water for smothering the pork
 - 1/2 cup water for turnip
 - Salt and red pepper to taste for the pork
 - Salt and black pepper to taste for the turnips
 - 1 tsp sugar
 
Directions
Step 1
Season the ribs with salt and red pepper. In a medium sauce pan, brown the ribs in a small amount of oil. Cook until almost tender, adding small amounts of water each time the ribs start to sizzle (this is called smothering in Cajun lingo).
Step 2
Season the turnips with salt, black pepper and the sugar. Add the turnips, chopped onion and 1/2 cup water to the pork ribs. Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the turnips are tender. Serve with cooked rice or eat as is.
