Rapes in potage.  Take rapus and make hem clene, and waissh hem clene;
quarter hem; perboile hem, take hem vp.  Cast hem in a gode broth and
seeth hem; mynce oynouns and cast therto safroun and salt, and messe it
forth with powdour douce.  In the self wise make of pasturnakes and
skyrwittes.


Turnips in broth.  Take turnips and peel, and wash.  Cut in quarters and
parboil, drain.  Simmer until tender in a rich broth; add minced onions,
saffron and salt.  Sprinkle with sweet powders when dishing up.  Cook
parsnips and skirrets the same way.

4 large carrots 		4 large parsnips, 
5 medium turnips		2 large onions
1 1/2 C. water		1/2 C. white wine
1 Tblsp. olive oil		2 Tblsp. honey
1/2 tsp. powder douce  (sugar, ginger, cinnamon, cloves)

Parboil cleaned, diced turnips and parsnips, (parsnips need longest
cooking) and drain.  In place of meat broth, use a cooking liquid of
water, wine, oil and honey.  Recipe #9, Chebolace, says to use water and
oil in place of broth on a fish day.  Plain water and oil had little
flavor and was not rich enough, so I added the wine, and the honey, 1 T.
at a time, to get a pleasing combination.  Cook minced onions (needed
longer cooking) in non-meat broth, add saffron, and the powder douce so
that it has time to cook into the vegetables, again because the broth is
not used, and neither was salt, for original cooking.  Add cleaned, diced
carrots and cook.  Skirrets are not available commercially.  When carrots
are nearly cooked, add turnips and parsnips, simmer until done, removing
lid towards end to cook down most of liquid.


*The part of the skirrets is played today by carrots.

Comments welcome, especially from vegetarians.  Would you be pleased to
see this dish at a feast?
