- 1 large turnip – peeled, halved lengthwise, and sliced 1/2-inch thick
- 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 (12 fluid ounce) bottle dark beer, or amount to cover
- 1 pinch dried savory
- salt to taste
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place the turnip in a pot with enough cold, salted water to cover. Bring the water to a boil and cook until the turnips are soft, about 7 minutes; drain. Transfer the turnips to a shallow baking dish. Dot the top of the turnips with pieces of butter. Pour enough of the beer into the dish to cover the turnips. Season with savory and salt.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the beer is mostly cooked off and the turnip is tender, about 1 hour.
