This year I grew turnips. I've never grown turnips before and I have no idea how to cook it. I'm going to have to search the internet to find some recipes. I've read that one can roast a turnip like a potato and eat it. I might just try that because it sounds so simple and easy. Yet, I've also been thinking of making turnip soup. I know summer isn't the best time to make and eat hot soup, but for some reason, I have soup on the brain.
Now, the real reason I grew turnips this year, not just because I wanted to try growing something new and different, was because I wanted to eat the turnip greens (a.k.a. turnip tops). Last night I cooked some of the turnip greens and it was yummy. All I did was cut the greens into smaller pieces and sauté in oil. It tasted like the Asian greens that I grew up eating. There was a slight bitterness to the greens, but I didn't mind. It really made me miss my mom and her cooking.
Have you eaten a turnip before? How would you suggest I cook my turnips?
