Preparation
- Step 1
Put oil in a large, deep nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. A minute later, add pork, and brown well on at least one side. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Step 2
Remove meat, and turn heat off for a minute or so. Add garlic and anchovies, with their oil. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until garlic lightly browns and anchovies break up, about 5 minutes. Add turnips, and raise heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until turnips begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and their juice, then bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, then return pork to skillet. Cover.
- Step 3
Cook gently until pork and turnips are tender, 30 minutes. If mixture is too watery, remove cover, and raise heat to evaporate some liquid. Taste, and add more salt and pepper if necessary, then garnish, and serve.

Also subbed 20 ounces ( or 2 drained cans) of large prepared dried Lima’s for pork. Brilliant.
I subbed 1/2 cup of dried Lima beans for pork. Soaked them in water for 4 hours ahead prior to cooking (could have used more time). Topped with a squirt of Gourmet Garden parsley paste. Lovely dish for a freezing January day.
Browns better in non-nonstick (use oil from anchovy can after heating pan up good and hot). Add some extra water with tomatoes (rinse out tomato and anchovy cans with maybe 1/3 cup). Add chopped turnip greens towards the end of cooking. Good over brown rice.
