Default How to cook a Swede?

Gordon Ramsay tends to be quite a jerk but I am enjoying his "F Word"
series. I haven't tried any of the recipes he's used but he had the
following on last weeks program:

Caramelized Turnips

Turnips:

* 1 1/2 medium turnips
* 3 tsp five spice
* 5 tbsp Port

* Olive oil
* Extra butter
* Salt and pepper

Peel and cut the turnips into quarters. Dust with five spice and a
sprinkling of salt. Sauté in a hot pan with a little olive oil until
they pick up a good colour. Pour over the port and allow it to stain
the turnips. Leave to reduce until syrupy. Add a small amount of water,
cover the pan with tinfoil and leave to braise until the turnips are
tender.

There are only a few cooking programs I enjoy, my favorite was "Too
Many Cooks" on ITV. Sadly, they finished the current series with no
plans to do another (I asked). I tried most of the recipes from this
series and they were most excellent. The program is no longer
available but the recipes a http://www.itv.com/page.asp?partid=3551
It's a stupid frame but you should get the "Too Many Cooks" homepage.

Now say thank you because I did not begin by asking if you had a pot
large enough.
