 Posted: Fri Jan 19, 18 11:13 am Post subject: Turnips - rescue me with a recipe or two... |
 
|
On clearing a veg bed I've discovered long-forgotten turnips - Purple Milan - hidden under drunkenly-leaning purple sprouting broccoli - and they are probably past their best, tho as I've not grown them before I admit I don't really know...nor do I know what to do with them 
So, turnip growers of Downsizer, your Favourite Ways With Turnips, please...
(I've also got massive radishes but that sounds like a complaint) |

tis hard to beat either boiled and mashed with butter,salt and pepper or diced and used as a root veg in a slowcooked dish
you will need a decent prep knife to peel em and if they are "elderly" a decent cleaver or cooks knife to dice them. |

I did look at the Recipe Section first Sean but they're without comments and I do like people to gush over their fave recipes...I'm maybe expecting too much with the humble turnip 
I'd better go and dig them up! |

Buy a cow and feed it with them. That's my advice. |

Friulian style turnips is mine, via Antonio Carluccio. Highly recomended. Boy Wonder likes it too. |

Arvo actually made this and it was nice. A cow would be better though. |

Thanks Chez. Can always rely on you for sensible advice... The friulian recipe looks worth a go, tho the turnips are not exactly young; however, all on hold atm as soil way way too wet n soggy to extract them! |
