Many housewives cannot imagine how tasty and healthy turnip is, especially if it is cooked deliciously. In the article I will consider a special cooking method, which involves the use of special pots. First, the vegetable is boiled, then the inner pulp is removed with a spoon.
The thickness of the walls of the pot is about one and a half centimeters. Upon completion of the preliminary stage, the pots are filled with minced meat. I like to experiment with the filling - I use sweet cereal, mushroom and meat components. I take any meat, but I prefer mushrooms oyster mushrooms.

Regardless of the chosen filling, I note that the dish in natural pots will turn out to be very fragrant.

- Forest mushrooms 300 g
- onion 2 PC
- sunflower oil 30 ml
- spicy tomato sauce 125 ml
- salt and spices taste
- Peel the mushrooms, chop finely, mix with chopped onions.
- Place the mass in a frying pan, season with spices, fry over low heat until the liquid has evaporated from the mushrooms and they are browned.
- Mix the resulting frying with chopped turnip pulp and fill with the resulting mass of pots.
- Put the natural pots with the filling into the form, pour over the tomato sauce.
- It remains to send in the oven for a quarter of an hour at 190-200 degrees. Bake under the foil.
If you do not like tomato sauce, feel free to replace it with milk-based sauce. As a result, get a different taste.
