...We've pulled up everything out of the garden...and there were a LOT of turnips...so I'll probably be breezing through all of Julia's turnip recipes soon...turnips keep well...so I may save some for holiday dinners too...
...turnips fresh from the garden...washed...
...peeled and quartered...cute pinkie shot...funny...
...turnips with homemade vegetable stock...Julia says you can use broth or water...
...blanch the turnips in water...
...then drain and place in a pot with Earth Balance and enough liquid barely to cover...season lightly...
...cover and boil for 20-30 minutes until they are tender but retain their shape...
...If all of the liquid has not evaporated...uncover and boil it off...
...correct seasoning and serve...
...what can I say about this...I love turnips...and these were simply delicious...the boiled off cooking liquid forms a sweet buttery coating for the turnips and they were delicious...

We don't know what to do with turnips so we throw them in soup or put them in our salad. We get them most weeks at the farmers market. This is a great idea and gives us a new option! :-)
ReplyDeleteThis looks awesome! Turnips are so cheap - I've been looking for new recipes to add to the rotation!
