TURNIP STEW 
8 turnip roots
1 onion
1 bell pepper
1-2 garlic
1 c. flour
5 pork chops
2 cans tomato paste
2 bay leaves
1 tsp. dried parsley
1/2 c. cooking oil

Peel and cut up turnip roots in large cubes. Cut up pork chops and place in large pot with roots with enough water to cover roots and chops. Make roux with flour and oil until brown. Add cut up seasonings and cook until tender. Add 2 cans paste and cook awhile longer. Add roux mixture to pot of roots and add bay leaves and parsley. Cook until turnip roots are tender and gravy is thick. Serve with rice.

Note: With this recipe you can substitute pork and turnip roots with a round steak or a chicken for a great spaghetti gravy. Also 1 1/2 quarts of peeled shrimp makes a good shrimp stew.

Though this recipe is somewhat unclear (there are varying sized cans of tomato paste, which one do they mean? and it is unclear what they mean by "seasonings" as the bay leaves and parsley aren't added until the end), I altered it a bit to suit my tastes and it was amazing! I did not add the onion, and instead of using pork chops I used ground beef, then I served it over rice. It is a bit strong to serve by itself, but by putting it over the rice it makes a sharp, hearty stew - my roommate asks me to make this for him often.
