Recipe - Mashkigimin-Onagan (Traditional Cranberry Sau

5 Shallots; peeled, up to 6
1 One half cup Light olive or vegetable oil
3 tablespoon Butter
2 lg Yellow turnips (Rutabaga);
about 4 pounds
1 cup Milk
6 tablespoon Butter
2 teaspoon Kosher salt
One half teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

1. Slice the shallots crosswise into very thin rings. In a saucepan, heat
the oil with the butter over mediumlow heat until it begins to bubble.
Reduce the heat to low, add the shallots and cook until they are a rich
golden brown, about 3040 minutes. Stir the shallots occasionally while
they are cooking to make sure they brown evenly.

2. Remove the shallots from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper
towels. Once the shallots have dried and crisped, in about 15 minutes, they
can be stored in a cool place, covered, for several days. Serve the
shallots at room temperature .

3. Peel the turnips to remove their waxy skins, and cut them into generous
1inch chunks. Place them in a saucepan with water to cover and 1 teaspoon
of salt. Bring to a boil and simmer, covered, until easily pierced by a
paring knife, about 35 minutes.

4. In a separate saucepan, heat the milk and butter over low heat until the
butter has melted and the milk just begins to simmer.

5. Drain the turnips, and puree (in several batches, if necessary) in a
food processor. With the motor running, add the melted butter and milk in a
steady stream. The turnips should be very smooth.

6. Return the turnip puree to the saucepan, season with 1 teaspoon salt and
the pepper and reheat, stirring over a medium flame. Serve piping hot,
sprinkled generously with crispy shallots.
