Ingredients:
- 1 musetto (pork sausage)
- 2 cups of turnips
- 1 cup of white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of salt
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 bay leaves
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Turnips
Start by peeling the turnips and cutting them into thick slices. Place the turnip slices in a bowl and cover them with water. Let them soak for about 12 hours. This process will remove some of the bitterness from the turnips.
Step 2: Pickle the Turnips
In a pot, combine the white wine vinegar, salt, sugar, minced garlic, black pepper, and bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Drain the soaked turnip slices and add them to the pot. Cook for an additional 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once done, remove from heat and let it cool down.
Step 3: Prepare the Musetto
While the turnips are cooling down, prepare the musetto. Place the pork sausage in a pot of boiling water and let it cook for about 30 minutes or until fully cooked. Once cooked, remove the musetto from the water and let it cool slightly.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Slice the musetto and arrange it on a platter. Serve the pickled turnips alongside the musetto. The combination of flavors is absolutely divine. You can enjoy Brovada e Musetto with a glass of Italian red wine or as a delightful appetizer before your main course.
