Fish and turnips in enchilada sauce

Approx. 325 Calories per serving. Recipe makes 1 serving.

The curried turnip dish was so easy to make, that I decided to make something else that was easy using the turnips. I thought about making turnips in a Thai red curry, but that wasn't really the flavor I wanted. Then I saw the can of enchilada sauce in the cupboard. Bingo!

Since everything was cooked in the enchilada sauce, this is the predominant flavor. Make sure you get a sauce that you really like. The cilantro really added to this dish and added dimension to the flavor. If you don't like cilantro, add green onions or something to help break up the enchilada sauce flavor.

Ingredients
  • 4 oz halibut (or other firm white fish)
  • 2 medium turnips (approx. 2 cups)
  • greens from 2 medium turnips (approx. 1 cup)
  • 3/4 cup red enchilada sauce (I used Hatch brand)
  • 3/4 cup water
  • cilantro (for garnish)

Directions
  1. Wash and chop turnips and greens.
  2. Add turnips, enchilada sauce, and water to a skillet.
  3. Bring to a boil and cook until turnips are almost tender.
  4. Add greens and mix well.
  5. Add fish and cover with the sauce.
  6. Cook approx. 5 minutes or until fish is done and flakes.
  7. Serve and garnish with chopped cilantro leaves.
