Preparation

Step 1

Cut 1 1/2 turnips into small chunks. In a small saucepan, bring two cups of water up to a boil with the turnips.

While turnips are boiling, shred other 1 1/2 turnips with a cheese grater. With a dish rag, squeeze out any excess liquid of the shredded turnips.

Once boiled turnips are finished cooking, drain and add 2 tablespoons coconut milk. Blend until smooth with an immersion blender. Mix in shredded turnips, remaining coconut milk, egg, arrowroot, salt and pepper.

In a flat-bottomed skillet, crisp 4 slices of bacon over medium heat. Once bacon is done, dice two slices and add to boxty batter. Reserve a little of the bacon fat from the skillet.

With the remaining bacon fat, scoop 1/4 cup boxty batter onto hot skillet. You don’t want the pancakes to be too big or they won’t flip. Cook for 7 to 10 minutes until patty is brown. Flip and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes. This should make about 10 small pancakes.

Add more bacon fat as needed and continue the process of frying the pancakes.

Cook bangers for 7 to 10 minutes per side, covered. In banger fat, fry up eggs to your liking. Fill your plate with boxty, bangers, bacon and eggs. Enjoy!
