- Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- 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.

- 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.
