[...] I admit I’m being a bit snarky in writing the above, but there’s also a note of seriousness in it since I do often take up a new recipe with the same nervous energy as I would for a date. When I saw this particular recipe in Eat Feed Autumn Winter, I was a little concerned because it would use up the last of my turnips for the season – a gorgeous bunch of baby white Hakureis that are so tender and sweet I even ate a few out of hand (which is saying a lot if you remember my semi-aversion to turnips).

[...] confessed to my disinterest in cooked turnips before. Is it coincidence that I’m once again lacking inspiration as I try to write this post [...]

Thanks for the green gumbo recipe, Erik! I do believe I might just have to try that.

My favorite roasted beets, though, are roasted whole. Do you think that would work with turnips/rutabagas? Or would their water content just turn them to mush? Ha, well, I guess I will experiment tomorrow. Regarding a mish mash of greens: Is there anything better than aGUMBO Z'HERBES (Gumbo Pages link)?

VegeYum – I know! Squeezing roasted garlic is so much fun! I just find it fascinating how it changes from something so solid to something so mushy in just 30 minutes in the oven.

i dont like turnips per se either. But I do love roasted garlic. I so love squeezing it out – rather like squeezing toothpaste. Your photo of the mash looks very inviting and almost makes me want to try it.

Oh I’ve got quite the monster batch of greens collecting in my fridge, Taylor. Turnip tops, beet tops, collards, kale, mustard greens…I’m planning on throwing them all into a pot at once and seeing what comes of it. Any suggestions?

All of your problems are solved! Do as most people from my parts of the world do…throw the underground root away and eat the greens. Turnip greens!!

Rutabagas would be an interesting adaptation, Erik. Give it a try and let me know. Yes, I’ve roasted turnips too. Here’s one of my earlier attempts: http://straightfromthefarm.wordpress.com/2007/06/20/roasted-vegetable-medley/

Yummers!

Though, I would probably make it with Rutabagas, given a choice.

Also, hmmm, roasted beets are way better than boiled beets. Have you ever tried roasting the turnips, too?
