Westphalian turnip mix

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 1 turnip(s)
• 1 leg of veal(s)
• 4 Mettwurst sausages
• e.g. potato(s)
• 1 tbsp sugar
• Salt
• some pepper from the mill

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 1 hour 30 minutes; Total time approx. 2 hours

Place the leg of pork and the sausages (pierce them so the fat drains better) in a large pot. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and simmer for about 1 to 1.5 hours. During the last half hour, add the turnip, cut into sticks, and the diced potatoes, and simmer for the remaining time. Remove the meat and—if you want to mash it a bit—drain off some of the stock. Season again with pepper, sugar, and perhaps a little more salt, and mash the meat. You can also add a knob of butter or a dash of cream. If you like, you can also add parsley. This dish tastes particularly good on the second day.
