Time: 1 h4 servingsapprox. 420 kcal / serving (estimated)approx. 15 g protein / serving
Steckrübeneintopf is a classic of the northern and eastern German winter kitchen: a hearty stew of slightly sweet swede with smoked meat. Since the "turnip winter" of 1916-17 many have seen it as a dish of hard times, but today it is fashionable again. Warm, filling and cheap.
Add the swede, carrots and potatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes.
Pour in the broth, add the bay leaf and the smoked meat, and bring to a boil.
Simmer, covered, over low heat for 30-35 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Take out the meat, slice it and return it to the pot.
Season with salt, pepper and marjoram and sprinkle with parsley.

Tips
Swede skin is thick, so peel it thoroughly.
Because swede is sweet, a little vinegar or lemon juice balances it.
It tastes even better the next day.
